Mercedes has bet all its chips on young driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who is just 18 years old and has already been announced as Lewis Hamilton’s replacement for next season. Even tell me in the comments: Do you think this was the right decision by the team, choosing someone so young for a position with so much pressure? Well, speaking precisely of pressure, the driver, perhaps pressured by the weight of his debut, ended up having an accident with the Mercedes car at the first opportunity he had, during the Italian GP, ​​in Monza, doing only around 10 minutes of training. , and losing control of the car in the parabolic curve, crashing the W15 into the barriers. Many criticized the driver for this, and also Mercedes for putting him in this pressure situation. So much so that team boss Toto Wolff, Antoneli’s main supporter, spoke in an interview about this decision, saying: “I wouldn’t say it was a mistake, but I think we weren’t completely right in assessing the pressure he could be under. We talked about how to approach the activity, and he was brilliant in testing. In the thousands of miles he’s driven, he’s never put a foot out of place. But if you are an 18-year-old Italian driver in Monza, on your first opportunity, it is a different situation.” Toto also states that the correct decision would have been to put him in free training in another country, and not in his HOME GP in Italy, with this extra pressure of racing alongside his passionate fans weighing heavily against him and perhaps causing this accident. Well, tell me: Do you agree with him and putting an 18 year old to run for the first time in front of his fans wasn’t the best decision possible?
