Antonelli champion? Having completed the first three races of the season, Andrea Kimi Antonelli occupies the championship lead thanks to two victories achieved in China and Japan, the last race of the calendar before the scheduled return to Miami. In the midst of this long five-week break, many have expressed their opinion on the talent of the very young driver from Bologna, indicated by some as a potential 2026 world champion. Kubica’s advice A former Formula 1 driver like Robert Kubica, winner of the 2008 Canadian GP and today ready to contest the WEC championship at the wheel of the Ferrari 499P of the AF Corse team, also thinks so with some conviction. The Pole, interviewed by SportMediaset, however wanted to give some advice to Antonelli: “I hope he will concentrate only on driving, because every now and then I see him doing too much bullshit on Instagram – he commented – clearly nowadays they bring a lot of interest, but right now he must not waste energy, he must concentrate on a single objective which is to fight and win the world championship”. Becoming world champion in 2026. A goal that according to Kubica will not be unattainable for Antonelli, as long as the latter focuses on his goals: “I don’t see why not – he continued – so I’m very happy for him especially because Formula 1 is a sport that puts a lot of pressure on you. He, in my opinion, has had a lot of pressure in the past, especially last year, but he has people around him who love him, who have invested a lot of time, money and have seen a unique talent. Now he is repaying them. The road is still long, but he is well aware.”
