Antonelli's 'emotional and special' Senna visit
SÃO PAULO -- New Formula 1 world champion Kimi Antonelli will race with a helmet bearing the the colours of Brazil and Ayrton Senna this weekend after a "truly emotional" visit to his gravesite earlier this week.
Antonelli became F1's youngest champion at the Mexico City Grand Prix.
This week he travelled early to São Paulo to the memorial of the three-time world champion, who was killed in a crash at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
"I was truly emotional, a very, very special day, a day that I will remember forever and that's why I will always be thankful and grateful towards the Senna family for allowing me to to see that," he said.
