The new era of the "Formula 1" championship, with its extensive changes to the regulations, may favor young drivers debuting in 2025.
According to Idman.Biz, this was stated by Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli.
"For all the rookies who joined "Formula 1" last year, I think it's a good thing to switch to the new rules this year. Because we are used to changing cars in smaller formulas every year.
We try to adapt as quickly as possible, because it's a fresh start for everyone and maybe it will help us understand the new car faster than others. Of course, the other drivers are not stupid either. They are very strong and will understand this quickly too.
However, energy management, the approach to the race itself and how to use it — this will be a big step forward. We have to start the season with an open mind and be very creative. Because you can do a lot with energy, especially when competing with others. It's like playing chess, but at high speed.
You don't have much time to think about every move, but this year, especially in combat, you should always try to be two steps ahead of your opponent. Whether you plan to overtake or defend a position, you should always think two steps ahead and try to force them to do something. There are a lot of opportunities to maneuver here, so you really have to be open and sometimes more creative," – RacingNews365 quotes Antonelli.
