Kimi Antonelli IMMEDIATELY causes RED FLAG in Monza after BIG crash
His F1 debut did not go according to plan for Andrea Kimi Antonelli at his home Grand Prix. Driving the Mercedes for the first time in an official F1 session, he crashed George Russell's car 10 minutes in.
Antonelli briefly led the session on soft tyres, however, just after 10 minutes into FP1 in Monza, he crashed in Parabolica. The Italian youngster lost his car, and crashed into the barrier using George Russell's car. Therefore, it a change has to be made, that will penalise the Briton later this weekend.
Over the team radio, Antonelli was not happy, and apologised to the team. However, Toto Wolff quickly came on the radio and told him: "Kimi all good, all good Kimi!"
