Kimi Antonelli was hit with a wall of whipped cream by Mercedes mechanics during media day at Monza, underscoring the latest spike in the 2026 prank war.
Whipped Cream Intrigue at Monza
The 20‑year‑old, who celebrated his 20th birthday on 25 August, was blindsided as team engineers clad in protective ponchos launched a whipped‑cream barrage during the paddock event.
Brackley’s crew, already known for counterattacking the season’s top driver, intensified the feud by hurling cream, a tactic that has surfaced in several encounters this campaign.
As the season continues, this whipped‑cream episode adds another layer of rivalry.
