F1 involvement isn’t the only joy: The Italian young driver shared some exciting news.

ROME – Italian driver Kimi Antonelli, after his F1 engagement, proudly shared the news of successfully obtaining his driver’s license.

The 18-year-old will represent Mercedes in the 2025 season, replacing seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton in the cockpit. Antonelli shared a photo on Instagram with the caption “mission accomplished.”

The Italian will be the youngest driver in the new F1 season, having obtained the so-called “Super License,” without which he would not be able to participate in the championship. During his debut a few months ago in the prestigious series, he crashed during a practice session for the Italian Grand Prix. This was reported by the AFP agency.
