After becoming the youngest F1 championship leader in history, Kimi Anonelli says “it’s too early to think about the championship, but we are on a good way”.
After winning the Japanese Grand Prix, Kimi Antonelli became the youngest driver to lead the Formula 1 world championship.
After the race, the Italian remained level-headed.
“It feels pretty good,” Antonelli said.
“Of course, it’s too early to think about the championship but we are on a good way.
“I had a terrible start. I need to check what happened. Then I was lucky with the Safety Car to be in the lead but then the pace was incredible.

“It was really nice. The second stint I felt very good with the car. I’m very pleased with that.”
Kimi added he knows what he needs to work on to improve in the future.
“I can practice some clutch drops to get a better feel with it because, definitely, it’s been a weak point so far this year. I need to improve that because you can easily win or lose races with that.
“On the medium we were strong once we had free air and on the hard, the pace was incredible.
“I don’t know what the outcome would have been without the Safety Car but it made my life a lot easier,” Antonelli concluded.
