Williams launched its 2025 car and Andrea Kimi Antonelli completed his first kilometres with the 2025 Mercedes in Spain.
Preparation is really needed, because even though Antonelli may seem like the rookie who has covered perhaps the most kilometers in history (according to his team boss, he has covered almost 30 race distances, more than 9,000 km), he does not seem at all convincing so far. Mercedes used a 2020 car, the W11, in camouflage paint, in a private test, and the fact that they believe in Antonelli is well demonstrated by the fact that he could be the first rookie in the team since 2010.
The team sees him as a future world champion, even though he seriously damaged the Mercedes on his "debut" in the first practice session for the Italian Grand Prix. He has since driven the current race car again in Mexico and also took part in the Abu Dhabi race.
How do you think the new Kimi will perform?
