Former Formula 1 driver Jolyon Palmer has picked Kimi Antonelli’s celebration on the Monza podium as one of the images that will encapsulate the Italian’s 2026 title campaign.

Antonelli became the first Italian in 60 years to win at home, celebrating before a raucous crowd at Monza. He clinched the championship with four races remaining, becoming Formula 1’s youngest world champion.

Palmer says Antonelli never seemed overwhelmed and remained a podium threat even on his hardest days.
