Kimi Antonelli became the focal point of amusement during the Chinese Grand Prix ceremony when he was mistakenly announced as the 2007 champion Kimi Raikkonen. Despite the mix-up, the 19-year-old driver from Italy was in good spirits, laughing it off on the podium. His visit to Suzuka for the Japanese Grand Prix presented an opportunity for the Mercedes social team to tease him about the blunder playfully. Echoing Raikkonen’s catchphrase, Antonelli humorously responded by saying “bwoah,” and shared his shock and amusement over the podium announcement. Antonelli made history as the second-youngest grand prix winner at the Shanghai International Circuit, expressing gratitude to his team for helping him achieve his dream. His emotional post-race speech reflected his pride in bringing Italy back to the top and his focus on future races. With the Japanese Grand Prix on the horizon, the attention now shifts to Suzuka for the upcoming race.
