Drama Right From the Start
The Sprint race got off to a fiery beginning as pole sitter Andrea Kimi Antonelli was immediately challenged and overtaken at lights out. The young talent, widely tipped as the future of F1, found himself losing the lead in the very first corner — and he wasn’t happy about it.

Clearly frustrated, Antonelli made his displeasure known over team radio and in post-session interviews. “That move wasn’t clean,” he remarked, throwing subtle shade at the rival who snatched P1. His team had expected a lights-to-flag performance, but reality had other plans.
