Bruno Senna says he plans to give 2026 Formula 1 champion Kimi Antonelli the chance to drive one of Ayrton Senna’s historic cars next year. Senna made the comments after Antonelli visited the Senna family estate in Brazil shortly after clinching his maiden F1 world title at the Mexican Grand Prix, where he became the youngest winner of a premier-series championship.
Across outlets, the emphasis is mainly on the gesture and the visit rather than on any competitive or team-related implications. Motorsport.com and Yahoo Sports both frame Senna’s plan as an opportunity for Antonelli, tying it to the timing of Antonelli’s title and the estate visit. F1’s own coverage instead spotlights the account of Antonelli’s emotional visit in its official podcast format, offering more context on what happened at the family property.
Overall, all sources describe the same core story: Antonelli’s recent success is linked to his visit to Ayrton Senna’s Brazilian family setting, and Bruno Senna expresses a wish to involve him with the Senna racing car collection in the year ahead.
