Kimi Antonelli headed for Silverstone Mercedes test
Antonelli, who debuted in Formula 2 this year after winning multiple Formula 4 and Formula Regional championships over the last two seasons, is a potential name for the vacant Mercedes seat following the departure of Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari.
But, while Antonelli’s record in the junior categories, so far, is astonishing, there’s no doubt that the 17-year-old Italian driver represents a huge risk to be fast-tracked into F1 if he’s not ready – and there’s only been a small handful of races in F2 to call upon for data.

The FIA is looking into the possibility, which will require a few stages of approval through its own super licencing authority, the F1 Safety Commission, and the World Motor Sport Council.
As the dispensation is only needed until August, when Antonelli turns 18, the most obvious possible reason for this request is that a team is seeking to get him onto the grid quickly. With the request not coming from Mercedes, the obvious candidate is Williams as Logan Sargeant continues to fight for his future in F1.
