Italian driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli claimed victory at the 2026 Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix, driving for the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team, marking one of the most important moments of the season and confirming the talent of the new generation of Italian drivers.
Antonelli’s victory represents a significant achievement for Mercedes, one of the most iconic brands in motorsport and in the global automotive industry.
For Caroni, this success has a special meaning. The company has been a supplier to Mercedes-Benz for over 35 years, a partnership that began in 1991 and has developed over time through industrial projects based on quality, reliability, and technological innovation.

Following Mercedes’ sporting successes and seeing an Italian driver win the Chinese Grand Prix with Mercedes-AMG Petronas is a source of great pride for Caroni and further strengthens its relationship with a key industrial partner in the international automotive sector.
