Kimi Antonelli
Claimed his maiden F1 victory at the Chinese Grand Prix in his second season at Mercedes. After a solid 2025 that included a podium in Brazil, the 2026 regulation reset has unlocked a new level. His qualifying pace now matches teammate Russell, and the title fight within Mercedes is a genuine storyline.
