Young F1 sensation, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, faced a devastating setback during his debut at the Imola Grand Prix as his Mercedes suffered a throttle failure, forcing him to retire from the race. Despite a promising start from 13th on the grid to 8th place, Antonelli’s dreams were shattered on lap 46.

The Italian driver, who has been turning heads with his performances this season, expressed his disappointment at the turn of events, stating, “After two or three laps, I started to have the issue with the throttle… then unfortunately it went off completely.” Antonelli acknowledged the impact of the home crowd, admitting, “I was not as relaxed, I was a bit more tense while driving.”

Despite the challenges faced during his home race, Antonelli remains determined to bounce back stronger in the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix. The 18-year-old driver, surrounded by adoring fans, highlighted the invaluable support he received, emphasizing the positive energy despite the difficult circumstances.

Antonelli’s resilience and dedication to improvement shine through as he reflects on the race weekend, recognizing the areas for growth in his driving and race pace. With the unwavering support of his fans propelling him forward, the young driver remains focused on honing his skills and delivering better performances in the races to come.
