The Driving lineup of many teams for Formula One 2025 is already set, but Mercedes took a hit at the start of the season when Hamilton decided to join Italian giants Ferarri and to look for the replacement of 7-time F1 World Champions, but they might announce the second driver Kimi Antonelli.
Who is Auto Racing (F1) Prodigy Kimi Antonelli?
Andrea Kimi Antonelli is 17 years Formula 2 Championship driver with Prema Racing right now and is one of the top young talents who has already been signed by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 Team in 2019 and in 2024 he drove a Mercedes W12 at the Red Bull Ring.
Recently, there have been rumors that Kimi might be the 2nd driver for the Mercedes F1 team for the 2025 season alongside George Russell, as Hamilton will drive for the Ferrari team. He is a born racer who started his Formula champions journey in 2021 as an F4 driver, but his junior racing stats are not too great like so many young drivers who are right now in Formula One like Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc, and many more who won their junior champions in the F2, F4, and other category.
In his recent conversation with the media, Andrew Shovlin, the engineering director, praised Antonelli, who said that he is driving quite well in the Mercedes F1 testing car and can potentially replace Lewis Hamilton in the coming season.
Will Kimi Antonelli become the successor of Lewis Hamilton?
It is going to be a huge task for anyone to become the successor of 7 times World Champion of Formula One, Lewis Hamilton because he is a time driver in history, but there is a chance that Antonelli can become a great driver for the Mercedes team who can fight for Pole and also help the team to fight for the constructor championships. When an ESPN report asked Lewis Hamilton about Kimi Antonelli, he praised him.
Honestly, I have no idea what Toto’s plans are, but for me, taking on a youngster. If it was my job, if it was my role, I would probably take on Kimi (Antonelli),”
Hamilton commented while speaking to ESPN.
