At just 18 years old, Andrea Kimi Antonelli is set to make his Formula One debut with Mercedes after securing a seat once held by Lewis Hamilton. Amid nervousness surrounding his driving test, Antonelli celebrated his success in passing at the first attempt, allowing him to focus on the upcoming F1 season without the pressure of retesting. Acknowledging the weight of following Hamilton's legacy, Antonelli is determined to learn and grow, embracing the significant responsibility of stepping into such a historic role in racing.
"I'm the next Mercedes driver and I'm taking the seat of someone who made history in the sport, so it's a big privilege... I've got the right people around me."
"Cars have always been a central part of Antonelli's life. His father, Marco, watched how young Kimi played with toy cars and decided to take him go-karting at five."
