Kimi Antonelli made headlines by securing pole position at the Miami Grand Prix, becoming the youngest Formula 1 driver to do so at just 18 years and 250 days. This achievement comes as he replaces Lewis Hamilton in his rookie season. Antonelli surpassed Sebastian Vettel's record, previously held by him at age 21. In his statements, Antonelli expressed his surprise at the result and shared how each race weekend contributes to his growing confidence and understanding of the car, indicating a positive trajectory in his development as a driver.
I did not see that coming, said Antonelli. I felt the lap was good and I was happy with it. There were still a few bits I could have done better but I was super happy with how I put all the sectors together.
Every weekend I learn massively. Last week, having a break really helped me to gather information and process it all and recharging the batteries, it was really good.
At the same time, I can understand more from the setup and give much better feedback which allows the team to improve the car.
Every weekend I get more confident with the car, can play with it more and explore the limits.
