Bologna head coach Raffaele Palladino has expressed interest in welcoming Italian Formula 1 prospect Kimi Antonelli to the club's training facilities. The Serie A manager made the remark in comments reported by Football Italia on Friday.
Antonelli, 18, is a member of the Mercedes junior programme and widely regarded as one of motorsport's most promising talents. He made his Formula 1 debut with Mercedes in 2025 and has drawn significant attention in Italy as a potential future star.
Palladino, who took charge of Bologna in 2024, did not specify a timeframe for a potential visit. The request highlights the crossover appeal between Italian football and the country's growing presence in Formula 1.
