World Sports · 19:39:07 - Thursday, 12 November 2026

Newly crowned 2026 Formula One World Drivers' Champion Andrea Kimi Antonelli visited the family of Brazilian legend Ayrton Senna ahead of this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos.

The Italian Mercedes driver secured the title following the Mexico City Grand Prix at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on November 1, becoming the sport's newest world champion at age 19.

Antonelli's visit to the Senna family continues a tradition of Formula One champions paying respects to the three-time world champion, who died at Imola in 1994. The Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos holds special significance as Senna's home race, where he won in 1991 and 1993.

The 2026 season concludes with the Brazilian Grand Prix on November 8, followed by the season finale in Abu Dhabi on November 29.
