[Saba Sports News] According to recent reports from Italian media, the Mercedes-Benz team conducted a test race at the Silverstone Circuit. During this test, they evaluated the racing performances of George Russell, Mick Schumacher, and Kimi Antonelli. Among these drivers, Antonelli’s performance proved to be comparable to Russell’s, but he showcased a slightly better race rhythm, making him stand out among the three. Following this test, Antonelli received approval from all 15 team members, indicating that he is expected to represent the team in F1 next season. This means that another Italian driver will potentially join the race driving a top team’s car. The editor believes that Antonelli, a highly regarded young driver who has already shown great potential in F2, has a bright future ahead of him. However, his journey will also be filled with challenges, as he needs to continue working hard in F2 and elevate his skills in preparation for his future in F1.
