Toto Wolff, head of the "Mercedes" team, spoke about the team's Italian driver, Andrea Kimi Antonelli.
Idman.Biz reports that Wolff emphasized that too much is demanded of Antonelli for his age.
"I have never doubted Antonelli's speed, talent, skill and mastery. But I think we underestimated his age.
If you are thrown into such a wild circus at such a young age, it is very difficult to cope with the pressure, journalists and the inevitable high expectations. But I have no doubt that this year has been good for him," - "GPBlog" quotes Wolff.
Antonelli made his Formula 1 debut in 2025. The Italian racing driver finished seventh in the championship.
