Kimi Antonelli has achieved a meteoric ascent to the Formula 1 World Championship in only his second season in the sport, reaching the pinnacle at an age when many drivers are still trying to graduate from junior categories.
The Journey Through PREMA
The young Italian driver spent just three and a half years on the FIA single-seater pyramid, competing alongside the legendary PREMA outfit for every step of his journey. Latest F1 News sat down with PREMA’s former head honcho Rene Rosin to reflect on Antonelli’s remarkable rise through the ranks.
Until 2026, the Rosin family managed the highly successful PREMA team across junior motorsport. It was within this organization that Antonelli developed his skills and climbed the ladder before ultimately securing a coveted seat at Mercedes.
