fun facts/lore about kimi antonelli from the tortellini interview! (the trailer)

so sky aport italy invited kimi to an Italian restaurant (Mattarello Bolognese) in England and had a dinner session with him (i.e. kimi being bombarded with questions while all he wanted to do was eat because he was starving after making tortellini for the table)

he's still allowed to eat pasta. but sergi wanted him to have a varied diet, so for example he would have salmon with rice and chicken pasta (kimi: "you can tell my trainer is not italian")

he's never had tortellini with mortadella in them??

he spent two weeks in Italy during the winter holiday, and went on to do physical tests at adidas, the jerez test driving w11 (said the car was a beautiful monster and felt much lighter)

he did the f1 intro just before the interview (said that he was considering doing the italian hand gesture but maybe not this year)

saved toto wolff as "toto" in his phone. "i have a great relationship with him on the track, obviously a professional one, but even outside the track we have a good personal relationship, and he's a great person. i am really happy to have someone like him". the host mentioned that when kimi is in England, he sometimes stays at toto's house, and asked him what toto likes to have for dinner. kimi replied that it depends because sometimes toto isn’t even there

final exam (high school graduation/maturità) this year falls between Canada and Austria. but maybe the school would be able to accommodate another date. the host joked that they could ask stefano domenicali for a favor (and then they played a video message from domenicali)

fears? was afraid of the dark as a kid and had trouble falling asleep. of not performing.

message from the vr46 academy and from bez. he praised the healthy competition on the motor ranch. about vale being a legend but also a very simple, very humble person despite his achievements. also about pasini getting very touchy when he loses but they are good friends. but when asked about f1 he said that it wasnt possible to have similar friendships among drivers

prefered music from the 2000-10s. message from simone giani

asked about who he talked to in his difficult moments—his dad, and "a small group of people you trust and with whom you have the confidence to express your feelings"

message from marco antonelli: ciao tesoro. we've arrived, it's starting now. listen, you’ve come a long way since you were holding the simulator in my arm and the time we used to go karting together. what i can say? it's going to be difficult, but as i was before, i am here now, for whatever i can do. a big hug, and good luck. see you soon my darling

message from veronica, who greeted kimi with "ciao topo" (hello mouse?): well, you know i’m not really into these things, but anyway, listen, do you remember when we used to go to karting races together? and i’d sometimes try to convince you to stop, to change paths, to change sports, because I knew that where you wanted to go, it would be impossible to reach, and yet here you are. it's not a point of arrival, but a departure, with all the complications that come with it. we’ve talked about this a thousand times, but after all, impossible challenges are always possible. we wll always be close to you, we wll always put up with you and whatever you need, we wll always be there. a kiss

kimi and vicky started crying, the essence of a mother... even when kimi became a formula 1 driver his mom still calls him a rat (affectionate). every now and then, kimi can go back to being small when he's with his parents, because in f1 he must be a man

he then talked about marco not wanting him to compete either, to protect him from heartbreaks because f1 seemed like an unattainable dream to them, one that would only lead to huge disappointments. and also when he was a kid, he was good but didn’t have a strong character. so his parents were worried that he would give in to the pressure

the food arrived (finally!). kimi said that he loves making pasta when he's at home

his sister being his no.1 fan. she doesnt support any other drivers

other sport he likes: nba, big michael jordan fan

name? people call him kimi. his family, best friend, call him andy

max is ruthless and made him understand that you can have no friends in f1. and then kimi was saying something about if you look "all smiley" and too much like a nice guy they will see that you can be taken advantage of easily (but also kimi during the australia drivers parade was literally smiling and chatting to everyone so idk)

does he get allowances from his parents? (i can feel that at this point, kimi really, really wanted to eat his food in peace) he doesnt think about the money, and his family keeps him in line with that. maybe one day he will organize a nice trip with his friends

beat charles's rental kart record at mykonos (i think back in 2022?)

he’s too self-conscious to watch himself on tv properly and wouldn’t want to watch interview replays either. he’d get embarrassed
