as much as it pains me, I do not wish a successful season for Kimi Antonelli in F2. cause throwing a rookie with one year in F2 and completely skipping F3 into the deep water of F1 would destroy that boy before he would even turn 20. I hope he does a good job, finds his feet in the higher competition, has like 2 seasons in F2, and goes at first to Williams in 2026 and after one two years to Mercedes.

I mean, it just depends.

I feel like people are not looking at the potential pitfalls (I mean fans/ general public because I’m sure his team is on top of it) because we’re seeing rookies getting younger, and also because of Max. I hate to be that person to bring him into the conversation but he did start the trend of drivers being very young in F1. And because it worked out and he has achieved so much people are like “yeah so obviously it was fine”, which I think overlooks the level of preparation Max had from his environment, and also how much shit he put up with from the paddock. Just because he dealt with it well, it doesn’t mean that every driver would survive that pressure that young.

And also probably the timing is so unfortunate because Mercedes doesn’t have that many options for a short term driver until they are ready to take on Kimi so they might well be rushing the process. Not to mention, Toto will be under pressure to offer him a seat sooner because you can bet Helmut and every other team will be sniffing around him with the promise of a seat, and Toto already missed out on Max by not having a seat available for him.

I wouldn’t say I’d wish him a mediocre season, I would say I wish him a good season, and that he gets the fuck out of the Merc machine. Because a) other driver academies don’t have a dearth of drivers available. RB have enough current options and young drivers to give him time to develop, same with Ferrari and b) because Toto doesn’t deserve a generational talent, c) because to come in to a top team trying to rebuild, hot on the heels of LH leaving, with PR63 as a teammate, that’s not a battle you want to fight in your first year.

On the other hand, we don’t know if he does have the stuff to survive the same way Max did. He certainly seems to have the talent, and he definitely has the pedigree. So you can’t write it off that he has what it takes to come in young and deliver.

But I do think Merc is the team most likely to run him into the ground, so I hope he doesn’t stay with them.

So who would we prefer Daniel reserve for next year? Mercedes or Red Bull. I want him to go home to Redbull for sure. I feel like he’d have a better chance at a full time seat going that route rather than Mercedes I just don’t see it happening there, not when Lewis wants to race until he’s 40. Unless there’s a plan in place for him by going there?

george just "discreetly" trying to listen to the drama is so 😭😭😭
