Andrea Kimi Antonelli admits to feeling the pressure since being tipped as the driver to replace Ferrari-bound Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes before his breakthrough maiden Formula 2 win in the Silverstone sprint race.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli drives Mercedes W12 “For example, yesterday in qualifying, I did a mistake on my lap and lost quite a bit of time. So definitely, sometimes I still don’t perform as I could.
