Compliments for Antonelli after F1 tests: 'Fast, consistent and faultless'

Will Andrea Kimi Antonelli get the chance from Mercedes to debut in Formula 1 as early as 2025, or will the young Italian (17) have to mature for another year in Formula 2. In that class, the talent is yet to make an indelible impression, but an intensive test programme could fully prepare him for the switch. In any case, James Allison, Mercedes' technical director, is hugely impressed with him.
