I've already seen people claiming Kimi Antonelli "isn't a nepo baby like Max is" and actually, no, he's probably a bigger nepo baby than Max.
His dad is Marco Antonelli who mainly races in GT series, but who also started his own team in 1993 called Antonelli Motorsport (now AKM Motorsport). He comes from a motorsports family who have both the wealth and resources to afford him multiple opportunities that other drivers his age will have struggled to obtain, but his dad is also best friends with Toto Wolff.
Yes, he quite clearly has shown he has talent at lower formulas, but its important to remember the ways both his wealth and connections have assisted in him achieving that. He comes from extreme privilege.
#f1#kimi antonelli#andrea kimi antonelli#He's not just some prodigy off the street that Toto has plucked from obscurity#His dad has been boasting about putting him behind the wheel of a lambourghini aged 10#He's closer to Lance levels than he is max#And this isn't a comment of whether he deserves the seat or not#But it's not irrelevant to his story
