Unlike most Formula 1 drivers who walked the red carpet at the premiere of the film “F1” with Brad Pitt, Kimi Antonelli was absent — for a strong reason: he was at school, taking his high school graduation exams.
The 18-year-old Italian driver, one of the most promising talents of the new generation, has just completed his first written exam at Salvemini High School in Casalecchio. Smiling and calm, he stopped to speak with reporters after the exam: “I was quite nervous, but I did my best and I think it went well”, Antonelli said.
He said he had chosen to write on the current affairs topic, with “respect” as the key word.
As for the night before the exam? “We listened to Venditti with friends and celebrated Virtus’s championship”, he revealed.
Meanwhile, on the track, Antonelli is also in the spotlight. Just a few days ago, he managed to reach the podium at the Canadian Grand Prix, alongside his Mercedes teammate George Russell and reigning World Champion Max Verstappen.
