Mercedes driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli experienced a pre-race scare ahead of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix on Sunday when he spun his car on the way to the grid.
The incident occurred during the formation lap at Interlagos on November 8, 2026, as the Italian rookie prepared for the Brazilian round of the Formula 1 World Championship.
Antonelli managed to recover and take his starting position without further issue, avoiding any damage to his Mercedes W16.
