Antonelli joins Wolff and Verstappen on Sardinia holiday during F1 summer break

Sardinia is once again becoming a hotspot for Formula 1 drivers enjoying some time off. A few days after Mercedes CEO and team principal Toto Wolff and Max Verstappen were pictured together in Italy, the current championship leader was also spotted aboard the Austrian's yacht.

In the photos, Antonelli is seen alongside Toto and Susie Wolff and is also joined by his father, Marco.

Antonelli shared a single image on Instagram so far from the yacht. He wrote: "Happy holidays everyone!"

Last year, Wolff and Verstappen were also spotted together on holiday. In 2025, the Dutchman said: "I love Sardinia, he loves Sardinia. I waved at him, we had lunch together and the kids played together. When you're there, you talk about everything except Formula 1. You can have many pleasant conversations with him and Susie [Wolff]."

Over the past years, the Dutchman was frequently linked to Mercedes as well. When asked about the four-time world champion, Wolff did not rule out having Antonelli and Verstappen at the team together at one point in the future.

He told Sky Sports Germany: "You have to give Kimi time to develop. Max is driving at his peak. He can do everything. The two respect each other. They're from different generations. But having both of them in one team is, of course, a completely different starting point."

According to Wolff, it would not as tense as it was when Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg were teammates at Mercedes. "But it's not like I'm afraid of it, I had it worse with Rosberg and Hamilton. I'd probably handle it better today. We're not afraid of having the two of them in the same team at some point.

Still, the Austrian underlined that he is satisfied with the team's current driver line-up. "But in the current situation, we're happy with the dynamic between Kimi and George. We've made great progress as a team. Adding another variable now wouldn't be right for our long-term development."
