  • Formula 1 driver Kimi Antonelli is facing a multi-million euro lawsuit from his former manager, Giovanni Minardi.
  • The lawsuit, filed in Bologna, concerns alleged unpaid compensation after Antonelli terminated their management agreement.
  • Neither Antonelli nor Mercedes have commented on the legal proceedings.

Formula 1 prospect Kimi Antonelli is embroiled in a significant legal dispute, facing a lawsuit valued at millions of euros from his former manager, Giovanni Minardi. Italian media reports indicate the case was filed in a Bologna court after Antonelli ended his management contract prior to his anticipated Formula 1 debut in 2025.

The core of the legal battle revolves around whether Minardi is owed compensation following the termination of their agreement. The dispute has reportedly been ongoing behind the scenes for about a year. Giovanni Minardi is the son of Giancarlo Minardi, who founded the Minardi Formula 1 team that competed from 1985 to 2005 before being sold to Red Bull.

Antonelli joined the Mercedes junior program in 2018, which led to the cessation of his collaboration with Minardi Management. He has since been represented by Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff. Neither Antonelli nor the Mercedes team have issued any public statements regarding the ongoing legal action.
