Mercedes still have not confirmed who will step into the car left behind by Hamilton, who will g🔥o to Ferrari in 2025.
Teenage starlet Antonelli is tipped to get the nod, and will drive in FP1 on Friday for Mer🍒cedes at the F1 Italian Grand P🅰rix.
“I said a long time ago that I think he was who the team should ꧒choose moving for🌸wards,” Hamilton told media including wuqian0821.com at Monza.
“He’s one of those young, super talented kids coming through. He’s a young adult now, but he’s o𓆉nly 18.
“I think people need to remember he is just 18, but✨ he has a bright future ahead o♌f him and I’m really excited to see and watch his progress.
“I saw a picture of us earlier on of us back in I think 2018. He wa💟s one of the grid kids and it’s like ‘shit, now he’s going to be on the grid’.
“It obviously reminds you of how old you are when you have those experiences, but yeah I’m looking forꦺward to seﷺeing him on track in Formula 1.”
Hamilton backs 'new wave' of talent
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has talked up the prodigious talent o🙈f Antonelli all year.
“We’ve been watching him through the different formulas,” Hamilt🗹on said.
“Naturally, he is a Mercedes driver. We are starting to see a lot o🍨f young drivers coming through. I think we’re just in that time.
“The👍re’s only 20 seats but this is a time we’re starting to see this new wave coming through.
“In terms of taking on a driver that’s had many years of experiencജe as opposed to giving an opportunity to a youngster, that’s what happened for me and it worked out quite we🔥ll.
“In my opinion it’s just an opportunity ♑to grow. He’s going to get to work with the best in class, learn from people that I’ve worked with and some new. It’s a great 😼environment for him to nurture in.”
Aไntonelli was fast-tracked by Wolff into a Formula 2 seat this year. He has won one sprint and oꦇne feature race so far.
He will get behind the wheel𒈔 of an F1 car, during an officiaꦦl session, for the first time on Friday in his home country.
And his y🐻outhful fresh pe♏rspective could aid Mercedes’ development.
“It’s definitely always good having more input,” Hamil𓆉ton said.
“For Kimi tomorrow it’s just about enjoying himself and having 💟fun. It’🍬s going to be an experience for him.
“He’s obviously beไen testing but tomorrow will be the first time testing this car, which is so much nicer than the 2022 car.
“So he’s going to be all smiles tomorrow for sure. It’s a pretty drastic difference. The more informatio🏅n and input we get, the better.”
