Andrea Kimi Antonelli given warning from F1 race winner ahead of rookie season.
After just a single season in Formula 2, having bypassed Formula 3 altogether, the 18-year-old Italian is replacing seven-time world championAntonelli made headlines when he crashed minutes into his F1 practice debut at last year’s Italian Grand Prix, the same weekend he was announced as a Mercedes driver for 2025.
"He's got enough speed to be really, really good, but with speed, accidents can happen. There's always talk that he had lots of crashes in the old cars. "He has time where he doesn't need to put himself into bad situations. I think there's a good chance he might end up in an awkward situation because he's shown how quick he can be, but he has shown he can make mistakes.Montoya continued:"You need to find that balance of still going fast, without going over the top.
“You have to understand why they were bad. What little differences can he make to change from average to good. If he takes the time to see these differences, he'll be able to change and react to situations in the right way.”Earlier this week, Antonelli confirmed he had passed his driving test just six weeks before his F1 debut at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
