168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Andrea Kimi Antonelli has been told that he’ll have to prove his raw pace, even if he doesn’t have co꧟nsistency,ꦺ in his rookie F1 year.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mercedes boss Toto Wolff made the h𝓀uge call to replace the outgoing Lewis Hamilton with teenage talen💫t Antonelli.

Antonelli crashe🦄d last year in his first Formula 1 FP1 session yet optimism remaﷺins high that he can justify Wolff’s faith.

“Antonelli is se🦹en as Mercedes’ next Max Verstaꦛppen,” Connor McDonagh told the Crash F1 podcast.

“If in the𝄹 first few races he’s six or seven tenths off, that’s not what Mercedes will expect.

“I know he’s a rookie and is only 18 but he has proven to Mercedes that he𒁃’s good enough.

“If Mercedes aren’t with the top three teams, there will be less▨ pressure.”

Lewis Larkam added: “He has been brought in for a learning season. “Mercedes expect him to learn🔯 from his experiences.

“We will see strong h𓆏ighs and there might lows, as well. Obvio𒊎usly he crashed at Monza within a few minutes.

“In terms of gඣearing him up for the season, Mercedes have done everything they can.

🀅“He has driven thousands of miles in old Merced꧑es cars, taking advantage of TPC testing.

“Mercedes believe in him. We have to expect mistakes along the way♛.

“It might be a bumpy transition. But💝 2025 will be a transition year.”

Predictions for Kimi Antonelli

“The key for Antonelli is to show raw pace. He cꦐan improve his consistency, his tyre management,” Connor McDonagh said.

“It’s about showing that he’s got the talent.

“If Mercedes are the f🥂ourth-fastest, it’s hard to look pa♍st him being seventh or eighth.”

Lewis Larkam said: “On his high days, he’ll be right up there with 𒁃the pac🐬e to potentially win races.

“I’ll give him a race win this season…”

Antonelli’s arrival with Mercedes means Ge🌱orge Russell must step up as their senior driver this year.

But the team’s concern may be whether their W16 can keep pace with McLaren�🍨�, Red Bull and Ferrari.

La🐻st year, Mer💝cedes managed three grands prix wins in a brief flurry of glory, including Hamilton’s win at Silverstone.
