Is Toto really thinking of Antonelli as Lewis replacement in Mercedes F1 team?

(1/1)

John S:
From the intensive testing in old F1 machinery he's giving Young 17 year old Kimi Antonelli something's afoot.
That's an awful lot of miles in an F1 car for such a junior driver.

Is Toto straining to use his inner Marko.  :D
Has he identified a new Max for the grid?  :DntKnw:

Jericoke:
Makes a certain degree of sense.

Toto hasn't really successfully shepherded an F1 driver into the sport (or has he?  Was Russell a protege of his?)

Being able to find 'the next Max' must be a goal for many people running F1 teams.

Dare:
He looks promising and F1 needs a Italian driver

cosworth151:
Looks like Seb has his hat in the ring, too.

It seems like I can remember another German F1 driver who used to drive for Ferrari and came out of retirement to drive for Mercedes. Maybe Vettel want to follow his hero's example.

Dare:
Give the youngsters a chance. I think Vettel is past
his due date.
