Kimi Antonelli rejects idea he’s “replacing” Lewis Hamilton: “He’s done so much”
“Of course, saying that I am repl💦acing Lewis Hamilton… I don’t think it’s ﷺreally correct.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Kimi Antonelli dis🌱agrees with the notion that he’s “replacin🐟g” Lewis Hamilton as he feels he’s just the “next Mercedes driver”.
With Hamilton moving to Ferr🌃ari, Mercedes o🍌pted to sign Antonelli as his replacement.
Antonelli is the youngest driver on the 2025 F1 grid at just 18.
With ꦰlimited single-seater experience, Mercedes have given him an incredible amount of time in older F1 caওrs to get him up to speed.
Antonelli could become F1’s youngest-ever race winner if he is victorious in any of the opening three races, breaking 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen's current record.
Speaking to Skyꦯ Sports at the launch of Mercede✨s’ partnership with Adidas, Antonelli was quick to say that no one can replace Hamilton.
“I feel like I am just a new Mercedes driver. Of course, saying that I am replacing Lewis Hamilton… I don’ꦺt think it’s reall✃y correct,” Antonelli said.
“He’s such a big figure in the sport and he’s done so much. I feel like I am just the next Mercedes driver and really want to make my way and try to achieve great 🏅results.”
Antonelli prepared for “brutal” F1
The spotlig🔯ht will be on Antonel🗹li, given that he will be racing for one of F1’s leading teams.
Whether Mercedes are in title co🍃ntention remains to be seen as over th♐e past three years, they’ve struggled with consistency.
A💯ntonelli has acknowledged that his ꦬrookie campaign isn’t going to be easy.
“It’s not going to be easy because my first y🙈ear in F1 at the end of the day I am racing against other 19 best drivers in the world,”🐭 Antonelli added.
🌟“Of course, the world of motorsport, Formula 1 especially, can be very brutal sometimes. But you know🅷 the thing is I am just going to just try and stay focused on myself.
“Try to work day by꧙ day, weekend by weekend and trying to prove myself. The mindset is going to be one of trying to win and then we will see. As I said before, I have good people around me that especially in this moment they really try and help me to ignore th🅘e external things to just always be focused on the moment.”
