His first season in F1 was a positive one. Sure, he could have done even better but, as a rookie, driving a Mercedes, taking the place of a sacred monster like Hamilton, he still did his and with great class. Filed 2025 with several satisfactions and many lessons learned, Antonelli is already preparing for the new season, aware that he will have to do even better because, you know, Formula 1 waits for no one. Although he is still very young (class of 2006), the Italian driver is convinced that 2026 will be fantastic.

The fact that, due to the new regulations, everyone will start from scratch is considered a great advantage for the Italian driver. The past will no longer count, it will be necessary to get familiar with the new single-seaters from the first tests in Barcelona, without having data to rely on. “It is nice to be part of this period of evolution and creation of the new project, I am very excited and I can&#8217t wait to find out where we will be compared to our opponents”, his thoughts to Gazzetta dello Sport. Feet on the ground and pedal? Not really.

Antonelli has many goals that he definitely wants to achieve: “To have a car that will allow us to battle up there in front. To win races and maybe, who knows, even fight for the World Championship. The team is pushing so hard to give us the best car and it will be up to me to try to do the rest” his clear words again to Gazzetta dello Sport. In short, Antonelli is aiming high. In his second year in Formula 1, he already wants to be an absolute protagonist, trying to enter the small circle of those fighting for the title of World Champion.

After experiencing the thrill of the podium, that of beating teammate Russell on the track, it is clear that winning the first GP in Formula 1 is an important goal for Antonelli, who, however, also aims for much more, confirming that he is “of a different dough”.

Mercedes is working hard to offer its two drivers the perfect single-seater to aim for big goals. Then it will be up to Antonelli to do everything to beat his teammate and prove that, even at 19 years old, one can already be ready to fight for the World Championship.
