Kimi Antonelli opens up on Sebastian Vettel messages in F1 title charge

Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli has revealed that four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel regularly messages him before and after races. Antonelli currently holds an 81-point lead over his teammate George Russell in the drivers' championship following the Spanish Grand Prix at the Madring circuit. If Antonelli wins the title, the 20-year-old will break Vettel's record as the youngest champion in F1 history.

Vettel previously stated he would be delighted if Antonelli broke his record, emphasizing that records are meant to be broken. Antonelli, who grew up supporting the German driver, expressed his gratitude for the support, noting that Vettel's messages make a positive difference during race weekends.
