Antonelli was deeply influenced by his father, Marco, a former racing driver and owner of the AKM Motorsport team in the Italian F4 Championship to follow motorsport. Although Marco initially envisioned a football career for his son, he ultimately guided Antonelli towards the world of racing. Even Antonelli’s middle name, Kimi—selected by a family friend—reflects his destined path, inspired by the 2007 Formula One World Champion, Kimi Räikkönen.
While Kimi’s net worth isn’t known yet, his father Marco Antonelli is estimated to have a net worth of $18 million. 18 year old Kimi has a height of 1.72m. While some reports have claimed that Kimi is dating a girl named Elli, he hasn’t officially commented anything about his relationship status.

How Antonelli got closer to join Mercedes?
Antonelli started karting career at just seven years old. His early start was a precursor to the success that would follow, as he managed consecutive victories at the CIK-FIA Karting European Championship in 2020 and 2021.
In 2021, Antonelli made his debut in single-seater racing at the Italian F4 Championship, clinching three podium finishes in as many races at Monza. In 2022, he managed to bag 13 victories, 15 podiums, 14 pole positions, and 14 fastest laps. His dominance culminated in a championship win, claiming the title with an impressive 104-point lead.
As the 2023 season drew to a close, Antonelli made headlines by bypassing Formula 3 and advancing directly to Formula 2 with PREMA Racing. Initially considered an outside contender for a Mercedes seat, Antonelli’s prospects brightened following Hamilton’s surprise decision to join Ferrari in February. Despite PREMA’s struggles in F2, Antonelli secured two race victories, bolstered by private F1 testing sessions with Mercedes.
