F1 LIVE | Antonelli parts ways with girlfriend as Hamilton delivers stirring message

Kimi Antonelli’s former girlfriend, Eliska Babickova, has confirmed that the pair are no longer in a relationship. In a video posted on TikTok and Instagram, the ex-karting driver addressed the growing speculation surrounding her status with the Italian driver.

She explained that the situation was still recent, revealing that throughout February they had been trying to understand where their relationship stood, as both were uncertain about its direction.

Babickova added that this uncertainty was the reason she had not spoken publicly sooner, despite rumours circulating for some time. She also pushed back against what she described as widespread speculation and misleading stories online, saying she wanted to clarify the situation to prevent further false and harmful narratives from spreading.

Earlier this week, the seven-time world champion posted a message on Instagram in which he admitted that “for a moment I forgot who I was”, while stressing that he now feels motivated and fully prepared ahead of his second season with Ferrari.

He later followed it up with a longer post on LinkedIn, sharing a similarly inspirational reflection, this time centred more on professional growth and the challenges that come with embracing change.

Hamilton concluded by offering a piece of advice to those navigating their careers, encouraging people to remain curious and not shy away from exploring new opportunities.
