Former Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel has sent an emotional message to Antonelli, who has become the youngest champion in the sport's history. The gesture comes as the Formula 1 community celebrates Antonelli's historic achievement on November 1, 2026.

Vettel, a four-time world champion, was seen at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza ahead of the Italian Grand Prix, where he drove Michael Schumacher's 2002 championship-winning car in a demonstration run. The German driver's message to the new champion highlights the passing of the torch in Formula 1.
