Moreover, at the Williams team, where Logan Sargeant would be released. But in order for Andrea Kimi Antonelli to become the youngest Formula 1 driver of all time, the FIA would have to change a rule.
Mercedes, whose protégé is the Italian driver, is doing everything it can to achieve this, as Toto Wolff does not want to fall into the trap of Max Verstappen again. Who does not know that the Verstappen family also knocked on Mercedes's door back then, but they still fell on deaf ears at the team. The story is known to everyone since then, Verstappen joined Red Bull Racing and won three world championship titles, and as a result of his arrival, the debut age in Formula 1 was raised to 18 years.
Antonelli is actually not prevented from making his debut except for his young age. As Italian/German F4 champion and Formula Regional by Alpine series winner, he has earned the necessary license points for his debut, and Sargeant's place at Williams is not yet sealed, to put it mildly. According to press reports, the FIA is inclined to change its own rule, so Kimi Antonelli could make his debut in front of a home crowd, at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Imola. This is an interesting and exciting opportunity, we are curious to see what will happen…
