Formula1 miracle child is just 18 years old
He can record for Hamilton, Ferstapen or … F1 grandfather, Fernando Alonso, but when a pilot – « infant » in the lounges of the Grand Prix who has just closed his 18 years, he scores one record after the other! In particular, the Finestat Kimi Antonelithe pilot with the best recommendations as Hamilton’s replacement managed to hit the good morning three records that are even more exciting thanks to his young age!
THE Antoneli The new Mercedes pilot became the youngest driver In the story of Formula 1 that led the Grand Prix race from the 24th to the 32nd round! Antonelli is 18 years old and 7 months old and this was the first of three records. The second record was also the youngest in Formula1 history to achieve the fastest round again in the Japanese Grand Prix and the 50th round. While holding a track record with a time of 1: 30,965, breaking the previous one by Lewis Hamilton in 2019. Three records have run on only three F1 Grand Prix. And it will probably have a continuation of success.
With these records begins to be justified and the Toto Wolf, Mercedes boss, who caught Antoneli last summer, then aiming to take the place of Lewis Hamilton. Wolf had characteristically stated that Andrea Kimi Antonelli is a potential world champion with Max Ferstapen’s talent. After three matches in 2025 Antonelli is in the 5th place in the driver league with 30 points.
He is the son of an Italian family involved in motor sport and has been a member of the Mercedes Young Driving Academy since 2019 – where he joined after winning a series of championships.
Antonelli has in any case gained impressions and now Mercedes feels relieved after Hamilton’s unexpected departure.
