At the end of this Formula 1 season, Lewis Hamilton will leave Mercedes after 11 years with the factory team and a connection that dates back to the beginning of his career. The British driver will be at Ferrari in 2025, leaving a highly coveted spot in the field. The possibilities for Mercedes are many.
One of them is their young driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli. One of the most promising young talents of today, he was promoted directly from the Formula Regional European Championship (FRECA) to Formula 2 at just 17 years old. Could he make a surprising leap and take Hamilton’s place in F1 as early as 2025?
Giancarlo Fisichella believes that Mercedes should take that risk: ‘I think Mercedes should choose him. He is so fast and already very good. I would like to see him there,’ he said, as quoted by grandprix.com.
