Kimi Antonelli could arrive in San Marino on Thursday, November 12. The 20-year-old Bologna-born Mercedes driver, fresh from clinching the Formula 1 world title, is reportedly planning a visit to the Titano to see some friends and spend a few hours in their company.
The stop in San Marino would be part of the few days of rest the young champion has decided to dedicate to his loved ones following his triumph at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Antonelli returned to Italy on Monday evening, landing at Bologna’s Marconi Airport, where he was reunited with his family.
Before the possible visit to San Marino, the driver is expected to travel to Mercedes’ headquarters in Brackley, England, to celebrate the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championship wins with the team.
Once his commitments with the team are over, Antonelli is expected to return to Italy to spend a few days with family and friends. Among his wishes is reportedly a desire to watch a Bologna match at the Dall’Ara stadium and to see Virtus Bologna play live.
The break will nonetheless be a short one. From November 19 to 21, the Mercedes driver will be competing in the Las Vegas Grand Prix, ahead of the season’s final two rounds in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
Despite having already secured the world title, Antonelli is aiming to close out the year with further success. His goal is reportedly to reach his tenth win of the season, before turning his focus to preparing for the 2027 championship.
