Formula 1 champion Kimi Antonelli has announced he will not use the No. 1 car number for the 2027 season, stating that his previous experience with the number "went extremely badly." The decision comes after Antonelli secured the championship title, which traditionally grants the driver the right to carry the No. 1 designation in the following season.
Antonelli's remark suggests a negative association with the number from a past campaign, though specific details were not disclosed. The driver will instead retain his regular race number for the upcoming championship.
