Kimi Antonelli Model Cars & Collectibles

Few graduates of the junior ranks have arrived in Formula 1 with as much anticipation as Andrea Kimi Antonelli. Our Kimi Antonelli model cars collection follows the Italian's early Grand Prix journey with Mercedes, capturing the single-seaters and helmets of a driver widely tipped as one of the sport's most promising talents. From debut-season liveries to scale replica helmets, each release marks the opening chapters of a career still very much in its infancy.

From karting to the junior categories

Born in Bologna, Antonelli made his name in karting from a young age, gathering national and international honours before stepping into single-seaters. His progression was rapid: rather than lingering at each level, he moved quickly through the junior formulae. In 2023 he claimed the Formula Regional Middle East Championship and the Formula Regional European Championship, winning the latter at the first attempt on the strength of several victories. Those title-winning campaigns confirmed his reputation as an exceptional prospect and set the stage for a swift ascent toward Formula 1.

The Mercedes junior programme and the step up to F1

Antonelli joined the Mercedes junior driver programme in 2019, aged just twelve, and was groomed through the categories under the team's guidance. When Lewis Hamilton departed for Ferrari, Mercedes turned to their young protégé to fill the seat for the 2025 season, pairing him alongside George Russell. In doing so, Antonelli became one of the youngest drivers on the grid and the second Mercedes junior, after Russell, to reach a race seat with the team — a considerable show of faith in a driver with limited senior experience.

What his arrival means

Antonelli enters Formula 1 as one of the most hyped young talents of his generation, and the weight of expectation is significant. His debut campaign brought encouraging moments alongside the inevitable learning curve of a rookie season, and observers have been careful to judge him against the demands of adapting to the sport's highest level. Whatever the immediate results, he is regarded across the paddock as a driver of real promise, and his early years with Mercedes are being followed closely by those who collect the machinery of tomorrow's stars.
