沃尔夫早知安东内利会在意大利大奖赛有神奇表现
梅赛德斯车队领队沃尔夫表示，他在周六就已感觉到安东内利会在蒙扎有特殊表现。2026年9月6日，主场作战的安东内利令意大利观众陷入狂欢。
为什么托托·沃尔夫早在F1意大利大奖赛之前就知道基米·安东内利“能在水上行走”（意指天赋惊人）
这位梅赛德斯车队领队表示，他在周六就已经感觉到有什么特别的事情会发生。无论安东内利在F1生涯中能赢下多少场比赛，沃尔夫都相信2026年的蒙扎将永远是特别的
和六年前一样——当时皮埃尔·加斯利为阿尔法·托利（AlphaTauri）夺冠——9月6日已被证明是蒙扎国家赛车场的一个特别的日子。
2026年，主场英雄基米·安东内利让意大利观众陷入狂喜，而就在当天下午早些时候，由于夏尔·勒克莱尔在帕拉博利卡弯（Parabolica）发生严重撞车，车迷（tifosi）还曾流下泪水。
然而，安东内利随后上演了一场惊人的逆袭。在他更换动力单元并从第19位发车之后，没有人预料到他会获胜——这其实正是更换动力单元计划的一部分考量，就是为了卸下他身上的全部压力——但安东内利还是做到了看似不可能的事。
这位积分榜领先者在红旗出现时已经上升到了第12位，比赛重启后，他继续如热刀切黄油般不断超越对手，最终迎来了他自己所称的迄今为止最棒的一级方程式胜利。
费尔南多·阿隆索当时预测安东内利能登上领奖台，被认为是非常乐观的想法，但沃尔夫知道——尽管他赛前不愿把话挑明——这位年轻的意大利车手有能力在主场观众面前创造特别的成就。
“我当时就认为我们两名车手中会有一人夺冠。要么是乔治，因为他拿到了杆位（拉塞尔在正赛中排在加斯利之后第二位发车），要么是基米，因为在蒙扎这里他如履平地。而且我昨天就有这种感觉。”
沃尔夫表示，就像安东内利的父亲一样，他在周日蒙扎的赛道上已经能感觉到空气中有些特别的东西正在酝酿。
当被问到为什么他在排位赛之后就已经预感到安东内利会创造奇迹时，沃尔夫继续说道：
"我观察车手的能量水平、态度、心态和行为模式已经有一段时间了，我知道那就是他今天的使命——赢得这场比赛。"
"昨天我和他父亲聊过，他父亲也预料到了这一点。"
“这些时刻让你能够通过各个练习环节看出一个周末的走向，感觉到一个特别的时刻可能即将到来。但这仍然是一项机械运动，所以情况可能很快发生变化。”
从在帕拉博利卡弯（Parabolica）的重摔到‘最荣耀的时刻’
只有一位车手曾经从更靠后的发车位置赢得过比赛：约翰·沃森在1983年的长滩大奖赛。
这意味着当时在蒙扎的每一位在场者都见证了一些特别的事情，不过当被问及这场胜利在他经历过的F1最特别的胜利中排第几时，沃尔夫笑了起来。
“这听起来现在很不浪漫，但我已经忘记了许多胜利，”他说，“有几场我还记得。也许是我的第一场，但它并不像你希望的那么光鲜。那是巴塞罗那的帕斯托·马尔多纳多。或者是尼科·罗斯伯格与梅赛德斯-奔驰，在摩纳哥的第一场胜利。还有刘易斯·汉密尔顿在新加坡的夺冠。
“所以有这么几场重要的比赛。而这场比赛肯定也会是我铭记的一场。”
除了这场令人惊叹的从后方追赶超车的表现之外，沃尔夫认为这场胜利还有另一个特殊之处：两年前，当梅赛德斯让安东内利在蒙扎完成他的首次一级方程式练习赛亮相时，他在同一条赛道上遭遇了严重撞车。
在沃尔夫看来，这恰恰说明安东内利在很短的时间内取得了多大的进步。
“这就是命运的圆满轮回，”他说。“两年前在第一次自由练习赛（FP1）上，那对他自己和他的家人来说，可能是他职业生涯中最艰难的时刻。一个所有人都心存怀疑的时刻，包括他自己。
“而两年之后，这却成了最大的荣耀，他职业生涯中最重大的时刻，未来很可能也会是他人生中最重大的时刻之一。
“即使他今后再赢下200场大奖赛，这一场也将永远与众不同。我认为这就是我看待这件事的角度。”

Why Toto Wolff already knew Kimi Antonelli "would walk on water" at F1 Italian GP
The Mercedes team boss says he already sensed something special on Saturday. Regardless of how many races Antonelli wins during his F1 career, Wolff believes Monza 2026 will always remain special
Just like six years ago – when Pierre Gasly took victory for AlphaTauri – 6 September has proved to be a special date at the Autodromo Nazionale in Monza.
In 2026, home hero Kimi Antonelli sent the Italian crowd into raptures, after there had been tears among the tifosi earlier on Sunday afternoon following Charles Leclerc’s heavy crash in the Parabolica.
Antonelli, however, went on to produce a remarkable comeback. After his power unit change and a start from 19th on the grid, nobody expected him to win – which was actually part of the thinking behind the PU change, to take all the pressure off – but Antonelli still managed to do the impossible.
The championship leader had already worked his way up to P12 by the time the red flag came out and, after the restart, continued to slice through the field like a hot knife through butter, on his way to what Antonelli calls his best Formula 1 victory so far.
Fernando Alonso was considered highly optimistic with his prediction that Antonelli would finish on the podium, but Wolff knew – even though he did not want to say it out loud before the race – that the young Italian was capable of something special in front of his home crowd.
"I thought one of our two drivers was going to win. Either George, because he was on pole [Russell started second behind Gasly in the race], or Kimi, because he's going to walk on water here in Monza. And I felt that yesterday also."
Wolff said that, just like Antonelli’s father, he could already sense that something special was in the air on Sunday at Monza
Asked why he already sensed after qualifying that Antonelli would perform a miracle, Wolff continued:
"It's been a while that I've seen driver's energy levels, attitude, mindset, or behavioural patterns, and I knew that that was his mission today, to win the race.
"I chatted with his father yesterday and the father also saw that coming.
"These are those moments where you can see how a weekend is panning out through the sessions, feeling that a special moment could come. But it's still a mechanical sport, so it can change quickly."
From heavy Parabolica crash to 'the moment of biggest glory'
Only one driver has ever won a race from further back on the grid: John Watson at Long Beach in 1983.
It means everyone present at Monza witnessed something special, although Wolff laughs when asked where this victory ranks among the most special wins he has experienced in F1.
"This sounds very unromantic now, but I forget about wins," he said. "There's a few that I remember. Maybe my first one, but it isn't as glamorous as you would like. It's Pastor Maldonado in Barcelona. Or Nico Rosberg with Mercedes-Benz, the first one in Monaco. And Lewis Hamilton winning in Singapore.
"So there's a few of these big ones. And certainly this is one that I will remember."
Besides the spectacular charge through the field, Wolff considers the victory special for another reason: two years ago, Antonelli suffered a heavy crash at the same circuit when Mercedes handed him his F1 practice debut at Monza.
According to Wolff, it shows just how much Antonelli has developed in a short period of time.
"It's how the circle closed," he said. "Two years ago in FP1, it was probably the toughest moment in his career for himself and his family. A moment where everyone doubted, including himself.
"And then two years later, it's the biggest glory, the biggest moment of his career that's probably going to be one of his biggest moments overall in the future.
"Even if he wins another 200 grand prix, that one will always remain special. And I think that's the perspective under which I want to see it."
