We are getting closer and closer to the start of the race weekend in Italy, at MonzaThe temple of speed, recently undergoing some improvement work, is ready to host Formula 1 once again. In the usual Thursday press conference, the team expressed its opinion Lewis Hamilton, which from 2025 will have for the first time the fans in his favor.
Hamilton in press conference: “Antonelli super talent. The choice is up to Toto”
A special year for the 7-time world champion. From next year, the British will no longer be tied to the Mercedes, the team with which he built his successes. And the journalists' questions could only be about who should be the one designated to replace him: Andrea Kimi Antonelli. Lewis praised the Italian talent and pointed out how he is part of that new generation that we need to start taking into consideration: “Antonelli? He's only 18 years old, but he's already an exceptional talent. He is part of a new generation of drivers, and I think it is time to start really questioning them. It is the same path taken by McLaren. Kimi has always worked in contact with Mercedes and with people with much more experience. I'm sure he will have a bright future. Will he replace me? I think it's the right choice, but obviously the final word belongs only to Toto".
“Good step in Holland. There are updates, but we are not the only ones”
The #44 of the Silver Arrows then went on to talk about the weekend just gone by, the one in Netherlands. P8 at the finish line for Hamilton, who however started in P14. A good comeback, and a race pace that didn't seem bad: “After the weekend in Holland we looked deeply at some things that we should have done differently. In general, though, the pace was good. I had a duty to do better in qualifying, but we have learned a lot and we will not make the same mistakes.. We bring lots of updates, However, we will not be the only ones", Lewis concluded.
