JAKARTA - Mercedes racer Kimi Antonelli thinks it's too early for him to compete for the 2026 Formula 1 world championship title.
Kimi is currently one of the phenomena after recording four consecutive race wins this season and is in the world championship title race.
"I think it's still too early to talk about it, and of course, now I have this gap, but that doesn't mean I can be calm and easier. On the contrary, I have to keep up and keep the distance, because it won't be easy," said Kimi Antonelli quoted from Formula 1, Sunday.
The Italian racer is now leading the standings with 131 points from four wins and five podiums.
Kimi's distance is also quite far from his closest competitor, his teammate George Russell, who is now in second place with 81 points.
However, the youngest driver to ever lead the standings in the history of Formula 1 is still not comfortable considering Russell and his competitors continue to improve from series to series.
"The competition is getting closer, and George is also very fast, so of course I will just try to focus on myself and enjoy driving, and try to really drive as fast as possible," said Kimi Antonelli.
Next, Kimi will be ready to enter the sixth series of this season, the Formula 1 grand prix of Monaco, which will take place on June 5-7.
