Kimi Antonelli Becomes Youngest-Ever F1 World Champion as STING Celebrates Fan Energy
At just 20, Kimi Antonelli becomes the youngest-ever Formula 1 World Champion. STING celebrates the milestone by showcasing fan energy through artistic portraits from India, Mexico and Vietnam, alongside a championship tribute and official video.
The championship title belongs to Antonelli, earned through his talent and determination. However, from his karting days to the pinnacle of Formula 1®, the energy of his fans remained a constant presence. Their support continued through every lap, setback and breakthrough, long before he lifted the trophy.
To celebrate the championship, STING® is bringing the energy behind the title to life through art, highlighting the fans who backed Antonelli throughout his racing journey.
Artists from India, Mexico and Vietnam have interpreted the energy behind the champion through their individual artistic styles. Their portraits of Antonelli reflect the support and enthusiasm of his fans, viewed through their respective cultural lenses.
The artworks, alongside a Championship Ode to Kimi, are now live across STING® digital channels.
