Toto Wolff has revealed that Mercedes moved quickly to sign Kimi Antonelli to avoid him learning different ‘behaviours’ at Williams. The exciting teenage rookie will replace Ferrari-bound Lewis Hamilton for the start of the 2025 season.
- Mercedes announced in August that Antonelli would be promoted as part of their new driver line-up. The 18-year-old will partner George Russell in a more youthful set-up, with the 39-year-old Hamilton to move on.
