Mick Schumacher used as benchmark as Mercedes test Kimi Antonelli
Kimi Antonelli and Mick Schumacher to test 🧸the W13

Andrea Kimi 🀅Antonelli will repor♌tedly receive another chance to impress Mercedes - with Mick Schumacher used as a benchmark.
Antonelli will drive the 2022 Mercedes 🐼F1 car at Silverstone n꧒ext week in a private test, report.
And he will share the W13 wi✃th Schumacher, Mercedes’ reserveℱ and test driver.
It represents a huge opportunity for Antonelli to prove his wortꦓh for a F1 race seat by outpacing a tried and tested former Formula 1 driver.
Antonelli, the 17-year-old Italian, has emerged as a key option for Toto Wolff👍 as he seeks to replace Lewis Hamilton, who will go to Ferrari in 2025.
Despite ꧒his youth and inexperience, the prodigious ability of Antonelli hꦡas caught Wolff’s eye.
Antonelli has aꦅlready tested Mercedes F1 cars this year, as Wolff takes a closer look at him.
Putting him directly up against Schumacher in the same car on the same track could be viewed as a 🧸more strongest analysis of the driver.
Schumacher෴ is into his second season as a Merced๊es reserve. He joined after losing his F1 seat, which he held for two seasons, at Haas.
Antonelli has also been linked with an even swifter app✨earance in Fo💞rmula 1.
It was reported in Miami tha🃏t an unknown tea🦄m had applied for an FIA super licence dispensation, to use Antonelli this season.
Dispensation is required because, at age 17, he does not meet the age 📖limit of 18.
Williams became the team who were speculated abౠout. Team principal James Vowles retains relations with former team Mercedes, and is reportedly considering whether to continue with Logan Sargeant in his car.
Vowles flatly denied that Antonelli wou𝔉ld get a chance at Imola, next weekend.
Instead, Antonell💃i seems set to feature at Silverstone where 🐎bettering Schumacher’s efforts in the W13 could mean he edges closer to a full-time F1 drive.
