Andrea Kimi Antonelli has admitted he “didn’t want to take any risks” on his second official F1 outing for Mercedes to avoid repe🅺ating his mistake at Monza.

Antonelli crashed out early on during his first FP1 run for Merced🎉es back at the Italian Grand Prix.

He pushed hard on his first official outing for the team, ultimately crashing at Parabolica, just 2ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤🥃⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ4 hours before he was unveiled as a Mercedes driver for the 2025 F1 season.

Antonelli adopted a “calmer” approach in Mexico as he stepped into 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton’s W15.

Reflecting on the session, he said: “Yeah definitely much better than Monza, I drove much calmer today, I💞 didn’t want to take any risks, I just wanted to do a clean session just to get some laps, understand the car and the tyres a bꦑit more, overall was pretty decent.

“I could feel I wasn’t🦋 on the limit but just because it was my choice, I just wanted to get a clean session overall.”

It wasn’t all plain-sailing for the 18-year-old as he ran over some debris in 🅷FP1.

The debris caused so𒈔me minor damage to the floor of his car and did lead to the first stoppage of the session.

When asked about the debris, he said: “Yeah to be honest I didn’t really see it so yeah was a shame because I got quite a bit of floor damage from it, was quite a big damage, so of course it wasn’t ideal but I managed to g🎉et a few laps in the bag.”

Antonelli ended up 12th fastest🌟 overall, 1.2s down on Russell’s top time.

He conceded he was “surprised” by ꦦhow muღch grip the soft tyre had when completing his fast lap.

“I was trying to build the confidence lap by lap and also it was my fi﷽rst time on the traℱck so I was trying to learn as much as possible,” he added.

“Of course on the soft the step in grip was quite big, also because  on hard I was doing consecutive laps I wasn’t doing one cool one push, so I couldn’t really try the single lap work, so I went on soft and I felt a lot more grip and didn’t real🌄ly use it as I was surprised by the amount of grip.”
