Kimi Antonelli, the newly crowned Formula 1 champion, was visibly shocked by a hero's welcome in Italy. He became the youngest F1 champion at 20 years, 2 months and 7 days after the Mexico City Grand Prix on November 1, but had little time to celebrate before the Sao Paulo Grand Prix a week later.

After visits to Mercedes' Brackley and Brixworth bases, Antonelli attended the Italy versus France UEFA Nations League match at the San Siro, which Italy won 3-1. He was shown on the stadium's big screens and received the adulation of a crowd, with Italy having waited since Alberto Ascari in 1953 for a native son to win the world championship.
