Doubts over Antonelli: 'Must've been really sick if he didn't want to race'

Next year, Mercedes will have a new line-up, with George Russell and rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli behind the steering wheels. After Lewis Hamilton was announced as a part of the 2025 Ferrari line-up, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff had his eyes set on Antonelli. The Italian F2 driver was able to test drive several times during the F1 season, which caused Former F1 driver Alexander Rossi to question him not participating in the final F2 sprint and feature races in Abu Dhabi.
