After Lewis Hamilton`s move from Mercedes to Ferrari in 2025, Mercedes might have found a promising replacement in Andrea Kimi Antonelli. Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, left Mercedes after 12 seasons of success. Replacing such a driver is a big challenge, but Antonelli shows great potential.
The 18-year-old rookie from Italy achieved fourth place at the 2025 Australian Grand Prix. This result makes him the second youngest driver ever to score points in a Formula 1 race.
