Kimi Antonelli's rise to Formula 1 has been nothing short of meteoric, arriving in the top tier during only his second season in the sport at a stage of life when most racers are still fighting to leave the junior categories behind.
The young Italian spent just three-and-a-half years navigating the FIA single seater pyramid. What makes that machine of progress even wilder is that he stayed with the legendary PREMA outfit every single step of the way.
PREMA's former head honcho Rene Rosin sat down to look back on this remarkable ascent. Until 2026, the Rosin family ran the immensely successful PREMA operation across junior motorsport.
It was precisely within that setup that Antonelli built his reputation, climbing the ladder before finally securing his seat at Mercedes.
