Mercedes has found “another proof” of Kimi Antonelli’s talent – but needs more

  • Andrea Kimi Antonelli, an 18-year-old rookie, finished sixth in the Miami Grand Prix on May 5, 2025, representing Mercedes in Formula 1.
  • Antonelli's early promise, including five top-six finishes in six races and sprint pole in Miami, contrasts with his struggle managing race pace and tyre wear.
  • During the Miami race, Antonelli initially gained positions but lost 14 seconds over 27 laps on medium tyres, partly due to a virtual safety car benefiting his teammate George Russell on hard tyres.
  • Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff praised Antonelli's raw speed as "another proof of his talent," while noting the need to improve and analyze his race pace further.
  • Antonelli's performance reassures Mercedes about his potential, but both driver and team view ongoing adaptation and race pace improvement as vital for his Formula 1 development.
