Mick Schumacher used as benchmark as Mercedes test Kimi Antonelli
Kimi Anton🎃elli and Mick Schumacher to test the W13

Andrea Kimi Antonelli will rep𝄹ortedly receive another chance to impress Mercedes - with Mick Schumacher used as a ben🦩chmark.
An𒐪tonelli will drive the ജ2022 Mercedes F1 car at Silverstone next week in a private test, report.
An♈d he will shar💙e the W13 with Schumacher, Mercedes’ reserve and test driver.
It represents a huge opportunity for Antonel🍌li to prove his worth 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 wiꦿll go t꧋o Ferrari in 2025.
Despite his youth and inexperience, the prodi💙gious ability of Antonelli has caught Wolff’sꦦ eye.
Antonelli has already tested🔴 Mercedes F1 cars this year, as Wolff takes a closer look at him.
Putting him d❀irectly up against Schumac♛her 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 Mercedes reserve. He joined 🅰after losing𝔍 his F1 seat, which he held for two seasons, at Haas.
Antonelli has also been l💮🅺inked with an even swifter appearance in Formula 1.
It was reported in Miami that an unknown team 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 about. Team principal James Vowles retains relations with former team Mercedes, and is reportedly considering whether to continue withꦿ Logan Sargeant in his car.
Vowles flatly denied that Anto🌺nelli🌠 would get a chance at Imola, next weekend.
Instead, Antonelli 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.

James was🍒 a sports journalist at Sky Sports for a decade covering everything from American sports, to football, to F1.
