Kimi Antonelli to Honor Ayrton Senna with Special Helmet at Brazilian GP
Kimi Antonelli, the 2026 Formula 1 champion, is set to honor Ayrton Senna at the Brazilian Grand Prix by wearing a special helmet. This event will take place at Interlagos, where Antonelli aims to pay tribute to his racing idol.
The helmet commemorates the 35th anniversary of Senna's first victory at his home race. Antonelli expressed his excitement about the tribute, highlighting the incredible support he has received from Brazil over the past two years.
Antonelli, who races with the number 12—Senna's number during his time at Lotus and McLaren—plans to retain this number for the 2027 season. He believes that keeping number 12 helps him stay grounded and provides a fresh starting point for his career.
