In March 2026, the Shanghai Grand Prix in China witnessed Kimi Antonelli becoming the second-youngest race winner in F1 history. During this event, every team was still struggling to adapt to F1’s radical new 2026 regulations — all except Mercedes-AMG.

Against this backdrop, Antonelli seized a rare opportunity to claim his first career Formula 1 race victory.

Another notable highlight came in the post-race interviews. Toto Wolf personally greeted Lewis Hamilton and congratulated him on securing his first podium finish driving for Ferrari.

Even more significantly, Peter Bonnington — Hamilton’s long-serving race engineer — also shared a warm moment with him.

These gestures clearly show that the seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton remains a universally respected figure across the Formula 1 paddock.
