Antonelli stunned by chants from San Siro crowd

Kimi Antonelli was cheered by the crowd at the San Siro when his name was shown on the big screens during Italy's Nations League match against France on Thursday. Visibly taken aback by the reception, the Mercedes driver was captured in a widely shared video, his jaw dropping as his name echoed around the 75,000-capacity stadium, before he summed up the moment with a single word: "Wow!"

Antonelli has become one of Italy's biggest sports stars after ending a 73-year wait for the country's next Formula 1 World Champion. Before the match he was given a custom shirt bearing his number 12 and the initials AKA. Italy went on to win the game, beating France on home soil for the first time in 64 years.
