Spotlight: Antonelli says he’ll frame iconic photo with Hamilton and Verstappen

Brief

Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Mercedes, Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, 2026

Andrea Kimi Antonelli says the post-race photograph of him with two of his fellow world champions deserves a place on his wall.

The new world champion joined the two most successful drivers in Formula 1 today on the podium at the end of yesterday’s Mexican Grand Prix. The trio now have 12 world championships between them – Lewis Hamilton having seven and Max Verstappen four.

“I will definitely frame the picture and put it in my house because it’s just an incredible moment. And as well, to see so much respect from two incredible drivers who have done the history of the sport is truly special, and a moment that will live and will always be remembered.

“So definitely I will frame the picture and put it on the wall of my house so I can see it very well whenever I go in.”
