FIA asked to approve Super License for Young Mercedes F1 Driver, Antonelli

FIA pedida para aprovar Super Licença para Jovem Piloto da Mercedes na F1, Antonelli

According to reports, the FIA has been requested to grant special permission to Mercedes junior Formula 1 driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli by providing him with a Super License. Antonelli has already accumulated the necessary 40 points to qualify for a Super License through his impressive performance in junior racing categories. However, due to his young age of 17, he is currently not eligible for a Super License until he turns 18 on August 25. The FIA implemented this age restriction after Max Verstappen debuted in F1 at 17 years old in 2015. The request for an exception to the Super License regulations for Antonelli will need to be carefully considered by various parties involved, including the FIA. It is worth noting that there have been few instances of such exceptions being granted in the past. For example, Red Bull tried to obtain special permission for Colton Herta, a race winner in the IndyCar series, to compete for their junior team in 2023. However, the FIA rejected the request as Herta did not meet the required points criteria, despite being of the appropriate age. Antonelli, who chose to skip Formula 3 and debuted in Formula 2 in 2024, has already begun his preparations for F1. Since 2018, the Italian driver has been a member of the Mercedes Junior Program. He has participated in two separate tests, one at the Red Bull Ring with the 2021 Mercedes W12 car and another at Imola with the 2022 W13 ground-effect car. These preparations coincide with ongoing speculation that Antonelli is one of the leading candidates for a race seat at Mercedes or Williams. This speculation arises just months after his remarkable success in the 2023 Formula Regional European and Middle Eastern series, where he clinched two championships. The request for granting Antonelli a Super License before his 18th birthday in the summer indicates the strong desire of Mercedes, Williams, or both to have him compete in an F1 race before the end of the 2024 season.

Antonelli potentially replacing Sargeant at Williams seems like a logical outcome. However, during the press conference at the Miami GP on Friday, Team Principal James Vowles remained evasive when asked about any speculation linking the team to the young driver. “Currently, we have more pressing issues to deal with than our drivers,” Vowles stated. “Alex [Albon] has shown championship-level performances, but is currently not scoring points. Our main concern is to improve our car’s performance in the future. That takes priority over everything else. As for Kimi [Antonelli], it’s important to remember that just 20 months ago he was competing in Formula 4. Making the transition to Formula 1 in such a short period is a huge leap.”

Vowles also made it clear that Sargeant is not under threat of being replaced at this point in the season. “I have had no communication with Kimi since Abu Dhabi last year, and I hope that provides some context,” stated Williams Team Principal. “I am not aware of any ongoing testing with Mercedes. Like everyone else, we are considering our options for the driver lineup next year, and we have our own young driver program. Regarding Kimi, I am not in a position to judge his current skill level. As for his potential entry into the car this year, I have always maintained that it is merit-based. Logan [Sargeant] must earn his place, and at the moment he faces challenging goals to close the gap to Alex. However, there are currently no plans to replace him.”
