168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell has described Andrea Kimi Antonelli as “exceptionally fast” and that he has “no doubt” he’s going to be a close match at Mercedes in F1 2025.

Antonelli was officially announced as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s replacement f༺or the 2025 F1 season at the Italian Grand Prix.

The 18-year-old has spent just one year in single-seaters before making t꧂he move up t👍o F1 next year.

While Antonelli has alread🎉y shown great pace in F1 machinery, his first outing for Mercedes in FP1 at Monza didn’t end well.

Antonelli crashed🍌 within the opening few minutes of his first run in FP1 at the infam🐻ous Parabolica corner.

Assessing the challengeꦛ of Antonelli next year, Russell said: “I think I’ve always believed that you gain a lot over time with experience, in terms ꦿof how to deal with the race weekend, the tyres, the team, but I don’t believe I’m any faster today on raw pace than I was when I was 17 years old

“And I think you’ve either got t🥂he speed or you don’t have the speed, and Kimi absolute𒐪ly has the speed. He’s proven that in all of his categories.”

While Russell sits behi🌊nd Hamilton in this year’s drivers’ championship, thཧere’s no doubt that the former Williams driver has had the edge over one lap.

Russell a𒈔dmitted he’s “looking forw🍷ard to a new challenge” alongside Antonelli.

“There will be mistakes on the way as there were for all of us – I think every si🧸ngle driver on the grid in Formula 1 in their first couple of seasons made very visual mistakes, and that’s going to be obviously highlighted more for any driver who’s at the front of the field,” he explained.

“But Kimi’s exceptionally fast and✃ I’ve got no doubt he’s going to be really keeping me on my toes next year, and I’m really looking fཧorward to a new challenge.

“Three years working wi🌜th Lewis has been exceptional, but I’m really looking forward to seeing what we can do together from༺ next year onwards.”
