Kimi Antonelli, the current leader in the Formula 1 championship, took advantage of the Easter break by visiting Valentino Rossi’s VR46 Motor Ranch in Tavullia, Italy. Antonelli, who has been performing impressively in the 2026 season with consecutive wins at the Chinese and Japanese Grands Prix, has solidified his position as a title contender. With the F1 calendar having a five-week break due to the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix, Antonelli decided to spend an exhilarating weekend at Rossi’s renowned ranch.
During the Easter weekend, Antonelli shared videos on social media showing his time at the dirt track ranch alongside current MotoGP rider Marco Bezzecchi and members of the VR46 Academy. While his counterparts took to the track for some action, Antonelli seemed content watching the activities from solid ground.
Heading into the break, Antonelli leads the drivers’ standings with 72 points, while his Mercedes teammate George Russell follows closely in second place with 63 points. Antonelli expressed his satisfaction with his current position in the championship after taking the lead at the Japanese Grand Prix.
Behind Antonelli in the standings are Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton in third and fourth place respectively. Fans can look forward to the upcoming Miami Grand Prix scheduled from 1-3 May at the Miami International Autodrome.
