Kimi Antonelli goes into the summer break as the clear championship leader, sitting on 219 points — 50 ahead of Lewis Hamilton — after six wins and nine podiums in 2026.

Now the 19-year-old Mercedes driver, who turns 20 on August 25, has traded the paddock for a yacht off the Sardinian coast, where he’s been spotted with his father Marco and an unidentified brunette.

The three were seen on deck in the Mediterranean sun, playing beach paddle and laughing together. Antonelli has also been photographed with Toto and Susie Wolff’s family during the same break.

He split from Czech karting driver Eliška Bábíčková in February, after around two and a half years together. She confirmed she was the one who ended things, citing different goals and values, and firmly denied there was anyone else involved.

Net-worth estimates currently run from about $5 million to $18 million, with most trackers landing between $5 and $15 million. His reported Mercedes base salary is close to $2 million, but strong results and a growing list of commercial deals have pushed his total earnings well beyond that.

Whether the woman on the boat is a new girlfriend or simply a friend remains unconfirmed.
