Original: kimi antonelli

Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli is drawing global attention ahead of and around the Singapore Grand Prix, with the Italian teenager hoping the team can 'put the car in a better place'. Attention intensified as Toto Wolff publicly defended George Russell after Russell's costly crash in the sprint, and angrily dismissed accusations of favouritism between the two drivers. The combination of rookie spotlight, team tension and a high-profile crash has put the young Italian among the most searched names in motorsport worldwide.

Why now: Antonelli is trending globally as Mercedes dominates F1 headlines following Russell's Singapore sprint crash and Wolff's fiery defence of his drivers.
