This year he said that if he won the title, he would dye his hair. He was hesitant about whether to do it with the colors of his city’s soccer team, Bologna (blue and red), or to wear those of the Italian flag on his head. And finally, he opted for this second option.

This is how it was presented on the day of celebration of the 2026 crowns with the entire ensemble, and upon arrival, Toto Wolff could not hide his surprisejoking with his pupil about it.

Also his partner, George RussellI was amazed by the hair that Kimi was wearing, totally dedicated to the cause this Wednesday, wanting to celebrate his title, achieved as the youngest champion in history (20 years old).

“We did it. World Champions,” he shouted at one of the celebrations, in Brixworthraising his fist in front of the factory employees, when he had to take the bus to address them. And immediately afterwards, he asked the DJ for music, officially starting the party, with the famous ‘Freed from Desire’. And on stage, Kimi, Russell and Wolff were jumping to the song. And Toto, especially, moved his hands upward asking his engineers and technicians to accompany them with jumps and dances.

“Well, before it was like a dance without enthusiasm, okay? You could see that the younger ones were moving. The older ones were indecisive. The engineers weren’t moving at all. But now the champions song is playing and we have to… you know, it’s for social media. “Everyone has to move and jump”he said jokingly, laughing, before the famous ‘We are the Champions’ by Queen played.
