- F1 Readiness vs. Driving Basics: It's fascinating that F1 drivers need to achieve top single-seater results for a super licence, yet passing a basic driving test is a separate task altogether.
- The Italian Test: Antonelli passed his driving test in Italy, and what car did he choose? A reliable Mk8 Golf.
While a Lamborghini Revuelto might have added flair, Mercedes wisely avoided lending him an AMG GT for his driving test.
Unlike Antonelli, Max Verstappen had already competed in 14 Grands Prix before passing his driving test on his 18th birthday—quite a contrast!
- Pre-Season Testing: Kicking off in Bahrain on February 26.
- Season Opener: The first race is set for March 16 in Australia. Antonelli, now driving test-certified, is ready to take the wheel without needing a ride from the airport.
Kimi Antonelli's rapid ascent in F1, highlighted by his recent driving test success, sets the stage for an exciting season. With history on his side, Antonelli is ready to shift gears and take his place among the giants of the racing world.
