Kimi Antonelli utilizes advanced simulator to enhance F1 title campaign

Kimi Antonelli has unveiled a bespoke Formula Pro simulator, designed to replicate his Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One car, in preparation for the 2026 season. The simulator was delivered shortly before Antonelli's recent Canadian Grand Prix victory, which solidified his lead in the championship standings. The setup is tailored to match every detail of his actual driving experience, allowing for precise training sessions at home. Several other F1 drivers, including Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris, also use similar systems, underlining the growing trend of simulator training in motorsport. The simulator's technology aims to improve drivers' setup testing and race strategies away from the pressure of team environments.
