De aankondiging waar iedereen op zat te wachten is eindelijk officieel geworden nu Mercedes zijn line-up voor 2025 bekend heeft gemaakt. Naast George Russell heeft Mercedes de 18-jarige Andrea Kimi Antonelli aangesteld als vervanger van Lewis Hamilton. Het was een zet waar velen op hebben gewacht, maar nu is het officieel geworden na indrukwekkende resultaten van de Italiaan in de lagere formuleklasses. Op internet wordt al snel de link gemaakt met Max Verstappen.
Reacties op internet op de officiële ondertekening van Kimi Antonelli door Mercedes
Max Verstappen was a year younger than Antonelli is now, and was in F1 barely nine months after his first car race. It’s gone fairly well for him since then! https://t.co/unFGxDXiqX

Super hyped to see Antonelli in F1 next year.

Going to be like watching the early days of Montoya, Verstappen etc with his bin or win style. Always goes for it.
F1 in 2025 is set up so beautifully. Cannot wait!
The paradoxical nature of Kimi Antonelli, never has someone gained even more clout by crashing in his second ever F1 lap. People want another Verstappen successor incredibly badly.

We’ll soon find out. Good luck to the young man.
Fantastic news for Kimi. Regardless of the crash yesterday, he was fast from the get go. Promising future, great young driver line up.

End of an Era with Hamilton.
Will finish above Lewis next year, watch

Congrats to Kimi, but it’s too soon for him.

Why not let him finish his f2 stint and then come on the grid with a team where there’s less pressure?
Mercedes are too eager to make a mistake. Lewis’ departure is clearly destabilising.
2025 is lining up to be a really interesting season

He quickly did a lap, wrecked the car, and secured the contract. A real deal-closer!!

Well he kinda has to now to pay back the cost of yesterdays unfortunate shunt.

Hmm. Should’ve gone for a 1 year contract with Bottas while the kid develops until 2026
