Kimi Antonelli achieved an impressive victory at the Italian GP, the 13th round of the 2026 Formula 1 season. This Sunday (6), the Mercedes driver started only from 19th position due to a penalty related to the power unit, crossed the field, reached the lead still in the first half of the race, and overtook George Russell in the final straight to win in front of the Italian crowd in Monza. The Italian also set the fastest lap on the last lap.
