Kimi Antonelli will take part in the second session of FP1 in Mexico, taking over the controls of Lewis Hamilton’s W15.

Mercedes junior and Lewis Hamilton’s full-time replacement Kimi Antonelli will be behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car again next year, taking part in his second FP1 session of the season in Mexico.

The 18-year-old Italian will lead Hamilton’s W15 in Mexico City and he also raced at Monza on Friday in September.

However, the teenager’s session in Italy came to an end as a high-speed accident saw him crash his rental car into the wall of Monza just minutes after his debut.

The accident did not affect Mercedes’ decision to promote the youngster, as Antonelli was confirmed as Hamilton’s replacement at the Silver Arrows the very next day, and this weekend the youngster will get another opportunity to show what he can do at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. .
