Andrea Kimi Antonelli will reportedly receive another chance to 🐓impress Mercedes - with Mick Schumacher used as a benchmark.

Antonelli will drive the 2022 Mercedes F1 car at Silverstone next week in a privatꦯe test,  report.

And he will share the W13 with Sch𝔉umacher, Mercedes’ reserve and test driver.

It represents a huge opportunity for Antonelli to prove his worth for a F1 r🌠ace seat by outpacing a tried and tested former Formula 1 driver.

Antonelli, the 17-year-old Italian, has emerged as a key option for Toto Wolff as he seeks to replace Lewis Hamilton, who will go to Fer𝔉rari in 2025.

Despite his youth and inexperience, the prodigious ability of Antonelli has caught 🐲Wolff’s eye.

Antonelli has already tested Merc♓edes F1 cars this year, as Wolff takes a closer ﷽look at him.

Puttin♎g him directly up against Schumacher in the same car on the same track could be vi🍸ewed as a more strongest analysis of the driver.

Schumacher is into his s🌄econd season a🌳s a Mercedes reserve. He joined after losing his F1 seat, which he held for two seasons, at Haas.

Antonelli has also been linked wಌith an even swifter appearance in Formula 1.

It was reported in Miami th൩at an unknown team had applied for a📖n FIA super licence dispensation, to use Antonelli this season.

Dispensation is required because, at age 17, he does not meet the age limit🐻 of 18.

Williams became theꦓ team who were speculated about. Team principal James Vowles retains relations with former team Mercedes, and is reportedly considering whether to continue with Logan Sargeant in his car.

Vowles flatly denied that Antonelli would get a c🔥hance at Imola, ne🀅xt weekend.

Instead, Antonelli seems set to feature at Silverstone where bettering Schumacher’s efforts in the W13 could mean he edges closer to a full-time✤ F1 drive▨.
