Ciao Kimi,
Bravissimo.
It’s hard to put into words the feeling we all had watching those final laps in China, seeing you hit every apex on the way to your first Formula One victory.
With George right behind you, both of you products of our Junior Programme, it felt like a story written exactly as it should be.
Fitting too, that you should be joined on the podium by Bono and Lewis. How beautiful it was to witness all of the emotion between you in parc fermé and on the rostrum.
Because this isn’t just about one driver. It’s about a team.
You, George, and Fred, all coming through the same path, now leading our challenge in 2026 exactly 10 years after we have reborn the junior programme. That means everything to us.
Seeing you succeed together at the front of Formula One is proof that belief, patience, and long-term commitment matter.
You’ve been part of this family since you were 12. We know how much work sits behind a moment like this and everyone who has played a role in your journey is incredibly proud of you.
Your passion. Your focus. Your maturity.
We always believed in your talent, and you never took that belief for granted.
Speed is one thing. Mentality is another.
On Sunday, you showed both.
