Kimi Antonelli’s priceless reaction after learning he will start Bahrain GP P3

Kimi Antonelli, driving for Mercedes, initially believed he qualified fourth for the Bahrain Grand Prix. However, he was later informed that he would start in third place due to a grid penalty imposed on Isack Hadjar for using his seventh internal combustion engine this season. Antonelli's reaction shifted from disappointment to excitement as he processed the news of his promotion.

Despite struggling in qualifying, Antonelli is optimistic about his race strategy. He acknowledges that Red Bull appears to have the upper hand in pace, with Ferrari closely following. Antonelli plans to focus on managing his tyres effectively during the race and is prepared to fight for a podium finish, expressing that he would be satisfied with either a second or third place.
