Antonelli’s Wild Monza Triumph | Johannesburg News

Kimi Antonelli stunned the world by winning his home race in Italy from a shocking 19th starting position—after even taking an engine penalty to drop him further back. The young Mercedes driver, already hailed as a generational talent, defied all odds, overtaking rivals including teammate George Russell, and became the first Italian to win at Monza since 1966. His victory ties him with Bill Vukovich for the best F1 win from the lowest grid spot (excluding Indy 500), and it’s now one of the most remarkable comebacks in modern racing history. Team boss Toto Wolff called it Antonelli’s defining moment—a triumph that will echo far beyond any future wins. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
