Antonelli: “Me at Ferrari? You never know, but I’m indebted to Mercedes”

A rare talent At just 19 years old and after just 29 grands prix contested in F1, Andrea Kimi Antonelli is the world championship leader and has achieved a fantastic streak of 4 consecutive victories. The spotlight in the world of motorsport and beyond has turned on the young Italian driver, who at the start of the championship has shown speed, tactical ability and also the right amount of aggression. In short, Antonelli is getting the most out of a Mercedes which is, without a shadow of a doubt, the car to beat. Antonelli and Ferrari We had already told in the past what happened in 2017 when Andrea Kimi Antonelli was one step away from joining Ferrari, but the then team principal Maurizio Arrivabene rejected the Italian driver who was 10-11 years old at the time. In the press conference on the sidelines of the awarding of the Bandini Trophy, Antonelli was asked a question about a possible future in Maranello, as told by colleagues from Bologna Today: “In the end, Ferrari is an immense team and has a crazy following and is a brand that will remain in history forever. So you never know, but I am very happy in Mercedes and my goal is to win a lot with Mercedes, because they gave me a chance when I was little and have accompanied me on this journey up to now. I am also indebted to Mercedes and therefore I feel first of all the duty to do my best with them and then we’ll see later.”
And among Antonelli’s skills there is undoubtedly the communication one to add, the Bolognese has learned perfectly how not to stumble into pitfalls and leave all doors open. Click here to add Formula Passion as your favorite source on Google Discover: you will find our content more easily!
