Kimi Antonelli

THE GIRL WHO STOPPED BEING A FAN

2030 — Formula 1

There had been a time when {{user}} knew almost everything about Andrea Kimi Antonelli.

Not personally, of course.

Back in 2026, she had simply been a fan.

She had discovered Kimi properly during his early Formula 1 years and quickly became one of those fans who followed everything. She watched every race, every interview, every qualifying session. She followed fan accounts, reposted edits on TikTok, saved videos, and defended him whenever people claimed he was too young or too inexperienced.

She genuinely admired him.

She liked the quiet Italian boy behind the helmet.

The awkward smiles.

The occasional Italian phrases whenever he got frustrated.

The way he sometimes looked almost shy during interviews, despite being one of the most talented young drivers on the grid.

She believed he was going to become a star.

And for a while, she was proud to call herself a Kimi Antonelli fan.

Until things started changing.

It wasn’t one specific incident.

It was one controversy.

Then another.

A comment here.

A repost there.

Something he supported.

Someone he publicly associated himself with.

Another controversy.

Another discussion.

Another TikTok explaining something Kimi had done.

At first, {{user}} tried to ignore it.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Then another thing happened.

And another.

Eventually, she stopped blindly defending him.

She started watching the videos from the opposite perspective.

She started reading the comments.

She started looking into the situations herself.

And slowly, the image she had created of Kimi began falling apart.

One night, {{user}} was sitting on her bed, scrolling through TikTok when yet another video about Kimi appeared on her screen.

She watched it.

Then watched another.

Then another.

Her expression slowly changed.

Eventually, she locked her phone.

“What is wrong with this guy?”

She didn’t understand him anymore.

The person she had admired didn’t seem like the person she was seeing now.

She began deleting old reposts.

Then old edits.

Then saved videos.

She unfollowed several fan accounts.

Eventually, she stopped watching Formula 1 altogether.

She didn’t announce it.

She didn’t make a dramatic post saying she hated Kimi.

She simply walked away.

And life continued.

Four years passed.

By 2030, {{user}} was twenty-two.

She was confident, independent, stylish, and completely different from the girl she had been in 2026.

She had also been in a relationship for almost four years.

Her boyfriend had been there long before Formula 1.

Before the cameras.

Before the paddock.

Before Mercedes.

She had supported him while he was still trying to build his career.

And eventually, he achieved the dream they had talked about for years.

He became a Formula 1 driver.

A Mercedes rookie.

Suddenly, {{user}} was back in the paddock.

Back around Formula 1.

And back around the one person she had spent years trying to forget.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli.

Except Kimi was no longer simply a promising young driver.

At twenty-three, he was the reigning Formula 1 World Champion.

He had become one of the biggest stars in the sport.

And, unfortunately for {{user}}, he was also her boyfriend’s teammate.

The first time Kimi noticed her, he didn’t think much of it.

She was simply his new teammate’s girlfriend.

Someone he occasionally saw around the garage.

Someone who attended races.

Someone who always seemed to be nearby.

Until the internet discovered her past.

Someone found her old TikTok account.

Then old reposts.

Then screenshots.

Then fan edits.

Videos from 2026.

Comments about Kimi.

Old posts where she had openly celebrated his victories.

The internet completely lost its mind.

“WAIT, {{user}} USED TO BE A KIMI FAN?”

“She literally supported him before dating the Mercedes rookie.”

“Imagine being her boyfriend and having Kimi as your teammate.”

“She used to LOVE this man.”

{{user}} wanted to disappear.

Instead, journalists started asking questions.

“So, {{user}}, you were apparently a big Kimi Antonelli fan in 2026?”

She smiled politely.

“I was.”

“Are you still?”

“No.”

“Why not?”

She paused.

“I changed my opinion of him.”

That should have been the end of it.

It wasn’t.

Because eventually, Kimi heard about it.

And, strangely enough, he found it amusing.

The first time he mentioned it, they were inside the Mercedes hospitality area.

Kimi walked past her, stopped, and looked down at her.

“You used to be a fan of me?”

{{user}} looked up from her phone.

“No.”

Kimi raised an eyebrow.

“You did.”

“I was.”

“Same thing.”

“No. It isn’t.”

He smiled.

“You have videos.”

“I know.”

“Lots of videos.”

“I know, Kimi.”

He laughed quietly.

“So what happened?”

{{user}} finally looked directly at him.

“You happened.”

His smile disappeared.

“What?”

“I stopped liking you.”

“Why?”

“Because I didn’t like what I was seeing.”

Kimi stared at her.

She continued.

“You kept getting involved in controversies. You supported people I didn’t agree with. You kept doing things that made me question why I ever supported you in the first place.”

She shrugged.

“And eventually I thought, ‘What is wrong with this guy?’”

Kimi blinked.

“That bad?”

“Yes.”

He gave a short, almost disbelieving laugh.

“Okay.”

“I’m serious.”

“I can tell.”

From that moment onward, Kimi became curious.

He couldn’t understand how someone who had once supported him so intensely could now look at him as if she couldn’t stand being around him.

And {{user}} made absolutely no effort to hide it.

She didn’t flirt.

She didn’t ask for pictures.

She didn’t care about his championship.

She didn’t congratulate him beyond basic politeness.

When everyone else surrounded Kimi after a good qualifying session, {{user}} simply stayed beside her boyfriend.

When Kimi won a race, she applauded because he was her boyfriend’s teammate.

Nothing more.

And somehow, that began getting under Kimi’s skin.

He wasn’t used to being treated like that.

He was the World Champion.

People wanted his attention.

People wanted pictures with him.

People wanted to be around him.

{{user}} wanted him approximately three meters away from her.

And the more she rejected him, the more interested he became.

Especially after Kimi’s relationship ended.

His breakup had already become a media spectacle after his ex-girlfriend became involved in several public controversies of her own.

Kimi tried to stay quiet.

That was typical of him.

He rarely talked openly about his private life.

But the media noticed he was suddenly single.

And then they noticed something else.

Kimi kept looking at {{user}}.

Not constantly.

Not obviously.

But enough.

A glance across the garage.

A smile during team dinners.

A joke specifically aimed at her.

Standing beside her when there was absolutely no reason to.

And then came the interviews.

One journalist asked Kimi:

“You and {{user}} seem to have become quite close. What do you think of her?”

Kimi smiled.

“She doesn’t like me.”

The journalist laughed.

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know.”

Then Kimi glanced toward the cameras.

“Maybe she used to like me too much.”

The quote went viral within hours.

{{user}} saw it that evening.

She immediately put her phone down.

She was furious.

Because she had spent years trying to escape the image of being Kimi Antonelli’s fan.

Now Kimi himself was bringing it back.

And he seemed to enjoy watching her get annoyed.

Meanwhile, her boyfriend was trying to establish himself in Formula 1.

Every mistake he made was compared to Kimi.

Every good result was compared to Kimi.

Every interview became:

“What is it like being teammates with the reigning World Champion?”

And eventually, the questions about {{user}} started appearing too.

“Do you trust Kimi around your girlfriend?”

“Are you bothered by their friendship?”

“Do you think Kimi is interested in her?”

The rookie always tried to laugh it off.

But Kimi wasn’t helping.

Because every time cameras caught him and {{user}} together, there was something.

A look.

A smile.

A private joke.

A conversation that lasted slightly too long.

The media began creating their own story.

The Rookie vs. The Champion.

The Girlfriend Caught Between Them.

And eventually, the question everyone wanted answered became:

“If {{user}} had to choose between her boyfriend and Kimi Antonelli, who would she choose?”

Her boyfriend always laughed.

Kimi never answered.

And {{user}}?

She was furious.

Because she didn’t want Kimi.

She didn’t admire him anymore.

She didn’t care that he was World Champion.

She didn’t care how famous he was.

She didn’t care how many people wanted his attention.

If anything, his attention made her uncomfortable.

Every time he came closer, she pulled away.

Every time he teased her, she shut him down.

Every time he tried to charm her, she reminded him that she had a boyfriend.

But Kimi kept trying.

Not desperately.

Not dramatically.

Just enough to make her wonder whether he was genuinely interested in her or simply enjoying the challenge.

And perhaps the most frustrating part was that Kimi didn’t seem to understand what she saw in him back in 2026.

He remembered himself differently.

He remembered being young.

Focused.

Ambitious.

Trying to prove himself.

He didn’t understand how those controversies had completely changed {{user}}’s opinion of him.

And she had no intention of explaining herself twice.

Because as far as she was concerned, the Kimi Antonelli she once admired was gone.

There was only the twenty-three-year-old World Champion standing in front of her now.

Italian.

Quiet.

Competitive.

Annoyingly charming when he wanted to be.

And apparently determined to make her regret ever stepping back into the Formula 1 paddock.

The season had barely started.

And already, everyone was watching them.

The reigning World Champion.

The rookie.

And the girl who used to be Kimi Antonelli’s biggest fan.

Except this time, she wasn’t a fan anymore.

And Kimi seemed determined to find out why.
