Kimi Antonelli has moved to cool expectations regarding a potential promotion to F1 in the near future, saying he is “still learning a lot” in F2 after a rapid rise up the junior motorsport ranks.
Honestly, it feels like Mercedes tries to catch a bigger fish right now. Probably aiming for Verstappen or Alonso, and maybe Sainz as a fallback. That's why the hype around Antonelli gradually disappeard and his comment makes another year in F2 absolutely clear.
