Mercedes persists following Antonelli's weekend in the Netherlands.
In the world of Formula One, speculation is mounting as Red Bull Racing's Helmut Marko has revealed that a decision about Kimi Antonelli's driving partner for the 2023 season will not be made until the "26th race" of the current season.
Antonelli, an Italian racing driver competing in Formula One for Mercedes, has had a mixed performance in the Dutch Grand Prix. Despite a problematic practice session, he made a significant step in qualifying. However, his Zandvoort weekend ended in a heavy crash, which also ended Charles Leclerc's race.
Bradley Lord, the team spokesperson, sees positives in Antonelli's Dutch weekend. He described it as a learning year for the young driver, who debuted in F1 in 2025, partnering with George Russell. Lord hopes that Antonelli's trust in the car continues to grow and his performance in the coming races continues in the same vein.
Max Verstappen, a fellow Red Bull Racing driver, shared an anecdote about taking a step back in his career with the team. The specific details of this anecdote were not provided, but it suggests that Verstappen had to make a significant adjustment or change in his career with Red Bull Racing.
The crash during the Dutch Grand Prix resulted in penalties for Antonelli, including penalties for the collision and speeding in the pit lane at the end of the race. Despite these setbacks, Antonelli now has more trust in the car, as the rear suspension configuration has been reset.
Helmut Marko did not reveal any potential candidates for Antonelli's driving partner for the 2023 season. His comments do not indicate any clear favourites for the position.
Lord, however, expressed optimism about the future, stating that this is a learning year for Antonelli. He hopes that Antonelli's race pace continues to improve, and he remains competitive in the upcoming races.
As the season progresses, the racing community will eagerly await the announcement of Antonelli's driving partner for the 2023 season. Until then, Antonelli and his team will continue to focus on improving his performance and securing strong results in the remaining races of the current season.
