Wolff sets career-long goal for Antonelli after first F1 title

After Kimi Antonelli’s first Formula 1 title, Toto Wolff is setting a much longer horizon: he told the 20-year-old he had “25 years to go” and wants to help him remain relevant throughout his career.

Antonelli clinched the 2026 championship in Mexico City on 1 November, aged 20 years, two months and seven days, becoming F1’s youngest champion. Wolff said he and Antonelli would work together on the areas where the driver could improve, and that he did not want the new champion to become a “one-time wonder.”

Antonelli had won nine races before securing the title, including five successive victories in China, Japan, Miami, Canada and Monaco.
