The Sardinian holidays of Formula 1
In recent days, several well-known faces of Formula 1 have been captured by photographers on the coasts of the beautiful Sardinia. There was the number one of the Mercedes team Toto Wolff, who met on a boat both Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen, also moored in the north of the island.
In Santa Maria Navarrese, on the eastern coast of Ogliastra, Charles Leclerc appeared with his yacht Sedici – a 30-meter Riva – accompanied by his wife Alexandra and friends, who strolled through the village also stopping with some fans for a few photos.

The remote Antonelli-Leclerc kart challenge
On the evening of Thursday, July 30, the karting track ‘Pista dei Campioni’ in Baja Sardinia – less than 10 km from Porto Cervo – published a post with Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who tried his hand at karting beating the previous record of Charles Leclerc: “Every year we are happy to see Kimi Antonelli return to our track, and every time he manages to leave us something special.
This time he wrote a new chapter: he beat the previous record of Charles Leclerc, stopping the clock at 42.827” against 43.00″. Numbers aside, what remains is the passion, the smile, and the emotion of seeing such a great talent live on our track. Thank you Kimi for coming back this year as well.”
