“This means a lot to me,” says Formula 1 champion Kimi Antonelli on Instagram. “Here’s my special helmet for the weekend. A tribute to my idol and to Brazil. I hope you like the design as much as I do.”
Sennabrasil replied straight away: “What a lovely tribute! We know how much Senna means to you. Thank you for sharing this with us.”
Numerous Senna fans have since reacted to the post and are delighted to see how the new Formula 1 champion is honouring the unforgettable racing driver.
Kimi says: “I’d been thinking about this helmet for quite some time. I wanted to do something for Ayrton and for Brazil, especially as it’s also been 35 years since Ayrton won his home Grand Prix for the first time. Of all my special designs, this is certainly one of the most successful.”
At the start of the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend, Kimi met the Senna family and was completely blown away: “It was incredibly emotional; I’ll never forget that day. I’m very grateful to the family. I would have loved to stay in the Lotus for ever; I wanted to savour every second. The family couldn’t have been nicer and showed me places where Ayrton used to enjoy spending time. Knowing that Ayrton was here moved me deeply.”
With his third-place finish at the Mexican Grand Prix, Kimi Antonelli has become the youngest of the 36 Formula 1 world champions to date. The 20-year-old Italian is on a record-breaking run. The Tifosi are dreaming of Antonelli in a Ferrari.
