Mercedes wonderkid Andrea Kimi Antonelli is set to have a showdown with Mick Schumacher in a testing session at Silverstone next week.
The 17-year-old has been winning many supporters during his fledging career and currently races in F2. He sits ninth in the championship in what is his first year in the junior category and has so far scored four points finishes.
His performances have caught the eye of several F1 team bosses though, with major changes expected on the grid for next season. The FIA have already recieved a request to allow the young Italian to make his F1 debut before his 18th birthday in August.

Current rules dictate that drivers are not eligible for a superlicence until they turn 18. But Antonelli has the required points to qualify for the licence, which allows a driver to take part in F1 races.
While the FIA assesses that application, Mercedes are lining him up to face off with Schumacher in a test. According to AutoMotorSport, the duo will drive the Silver Arrows’ 2022 car next week in Silverstone.
