Fixed: Antonelli will ride for Mercedes in 2025
It's now official: Kimi Antonelli will drive for Mercedes next season. He will take over from former champion Lewis Hamilton, who has moved to Ferrari.
The driver pairing for 2025 at Mercedes is therefore George Russell/Kimi Antonelli. "Our driver line-up for 2025 combines experience, talent, youth and unbridled speed. We are excited about what George and Kimi bring to the team, both as individual drivers and as a partnership," says Team Principal Toto Wolff.
"Talent and speed"
Antonelli has "shown time and time again that he has the talent and speed to ride at the top of our sport. We know it will be another big step up, but he has impressed us in his F1 testing this year and we will support him every step of the way in his learning process," said Wolff.
Antonelli already had some unpleasant experiences with the rough and tumble of the Formula 1 world on Friday. The 18-year-old crashed on his debut at Monza. The Italian spun in the Parabolica on the high-speed circuit and destroyed his "Silver Arrow".
So from 2025, things will get really serious for the youngster.
