Andrea Kimi Antonelli completed his first F1 test, which lasted for two days. Antonelli has accumulated a lot of experience and laps, Mercedes probably wouldn't insist on this if they didn't have serious plans for the youngster...
The young racer underwent his baptism of fire at the nearby Red Bull Ring, and he described his experiences as follows:
"It was absolutely incredible, it's amazing to feel the immense power that a Formula 1 car can have. I really, really enjoyed every moment of it, to be honest I had a lot of fun! Last but not least, I would like to thank the team for their two days of hard work!" - said the Italian teenager.
The past two days have been varied. While Tuesday was characterized by bad weather, heavy rain, and snowfall, the rookie only had a little time on the track. On Wednesday, he completed 116 laps in the Mercedes W12, the team's 2021 model.
