Fashion Tips for Rookie Driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli at the Bahrain Grand Prix

In an unexpected turn of events, rookie driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli received a fashion tip from Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft during Thursday’s press conference ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix. The advice came as a surprise to the young racer, who was not expecting style advice before stepping into the conference.

David Croft’s Warning About Wide-Legged Shorts

Moments before the cameras started rolling, Crofty reportedly pulled Antonelli aside to warn him about his choice of shorts. The wide-legged design of Antonelli’s shorts was said to be a potential issue for television broadcast.

In a recent TikTok video, Formula 1 photographer and insider Kym Illman shared this interesting incident. Crofty allegedly advised Antonelli to be careful about his choice of attire due to the wide-legged design of his shorts, which could potentially reveal too much on camera. This prompted Antonelli to spend some time adjusting his shorts to ensure a wardrobe malfunction was avoided.

Despite this unexpected fashion advice, Antonelli is making a strong impression with his performance. He has replaced seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton at the Brackley outfit and is currently fifth in the drivers’ standings, behind teammate George Russell. With 30 points under his belt, he hopes to continue his success at the Bahrain International Circuit.

Speaking about his performance so far this season, Antonelli expressed satisfaction with his consistency and ongoing improvement. He acknowledged that every weekend is a massive learning experience, particularly when it comes to understanding the tyre. He believes that having the same compound this weekend as in Suzuka will help him further understand the tyre’s behavior.

Antonelli also mentioned that he struggled with warm-up during qualifying in the first few races but felt that Suzuka was a significant step forward in this area. He emphasized the importance of continuous learning and improvement, while acknowledging the positive influence his teammate George Russell is having on his performance. Despite the challenges, Antonelli remains optimistic about his progress.
