Why Andrea Kimi Antonelli Will Succeed in F1

[@orynx2835]

People dissing on kimi is like if they were dissing max when he was a rookie . He of course crashed the car as well. The kid is 18 and has almost never drove an F1 car in those conditions. Of course he would make mistakes but i fear he might be pressured too much . We will just hope for the best and we will see

[@F-Duck1]

If he fails it’s because the media pressured him too much, not because he didn’t have enough talent

[@orynx2835]

@@F-Duck1 that's what I am saying

[@blubblewubble]

​@@F-Duck1 depends if he's crashing a lot or just has no pace

[@Chestaa_]

It is embarrassing for kimi when we know he has had intensive private testing schedule for months now to crash in a fp1 session lol

[@orynx2835]

@Chestaa_ Again , you can't just be perfect in everything. If you take a new hobby and except yourself to master it within 2 weeks you are literally going to give up the moment you do just one mistake . Even the safety car crashed , so let's just not point out every single mistake kimi makes and try to support him instead

[@ImanonymusKk]

he's got the adaptability of a 2020 leclerc and the raw pace of a 2020 verstappen

[@F-Duck1]

He can be something great

[@Braindnc1]

Errr.. can we wait at least some races before we rank him as maybe the best ever?

[@ClinicalDecisionYikesYT]

He’s got the adaptability of Goatifi and the raw talent of Mazespin.

[@nixic7127]

Just 1 kimi crash but we all thought that about Sargent when he started.

[@F-Duck1]

True but they are not the same (I hope)

[@-entyy]

[@giubb8]

When I hop on instagram f1's antonelli crash post, I see people left and right absolutely roasting him just for this mistake. I hope they will soon feel wrong for what they said today, we do believe in him.

[@F-Duck1]

Same man, it’s frustrating but I know his talents and I know he will be successful

[@RNA0ROGER]

I don't think one should underestimate Oscar, the speed of his development and the raw pace he has puts him up there with the big boys. Kimi I do think is an Alonso in the making and Alonso to this day could take Max.

[@F-Duck1]

Definitely

[@Samantha-is-delusional]

kimi has PURE talent but some people dont see it

[@F-Duck1]

True

[@dominicbarden4436]

I jest here but I think half the hype around Antonelli is simply because his middle name is Kimi! In all seriousness, his junior record is brilliant and he has shown some really impressive flashes of what he can do in F2 so far, in what's been a pretty bonkers season even by F2 standards! I hope he doesn't buckle under the pressure fans and media are putting on him.

[@F-Duck1]

Same, if he doesn’t then we’re gonna see something beautiful

[@Gipsz]

I can't wait to see him in f1

[@F-Duck1]

Same man

[@shambles168]

Crazy timing

[@F-Duck1]

Unfortunately

[@insertal3967]

he got the crashing of a 2024 sargeant and the glazing of no other, he crashed in FP1 in the outlap, franco is above him in the championship (at the start of the season he was a backmarker and kimi was alr scoring good points), just see how franco demolishes him

[@F-Duck1]

I wouldn’t say demolishing, you have to consider prema have a bad car, if they had the pace of even campos or invicta, Antonelli and Bearman would be 1-2 in the championship. I don’t doubt Franco’s ability but you can’t compare Franco and Kimi

[@insertal3967]

@@F-Duck1 same cars, mp had engine issues at the start, the engine literally going off on the race start, and franco has just been improving and improving, soon F2 is gonna be short for him

[@troypeters4704]

Logan was given 37 races, I thank that was enough, it wasn’t a hit he didnt perform, 37 races was enough to see that he just wasn’t F1 material!

Lol

[@justinburley8659]

I feel so bad for whoever wins F2 this year. If we no longer care about the F2 winner, we might as well look at some of the IndyCar drivers

[@F-Duck1]

It’s not that we don’t care about F2, it’s just that the series is so easily manipulated by money and people you know so no one really takes it serious anymore. Once they get rid of mechachrome plus reduce the amount of waste like cordeel, then F2 will become serious again. I wouldn’t mind indycar drivers being looked at tho since oward and palou definitely at least deserve some thought

[@rboettger]

You ll never know until u know

[@F-Duck1]

Very true

[@Bananananananannananananna]

You cant expect better from the current social media. They will jump on every opportunity to hate on kimi cuz he is in mercedes (one of the more hated teams) and people cant accept an 18 year old is achieving more than they have ever done in their entire life. He made a mistake, but its not as if he crashed out of the lead or smth. He crashed in his debut practice he will learn.

[@F-Duck1]

Very true, it’s a shame how the media can ruin a driver

[@blasphemer_amon]

A combined 12 time world champions got thrown off by the resurfaced track at some point or another. Bad luck combined with inexperience led to eating the barrier. But fair play he didn't earn any brownie points with George whose car he totaled and is going to be his lead driver in the other seat next year.

[@blasphemer_amon]

Even the safety car crashed, this was not the friendly neighborhood track everyone was promised.

[@F-Duck1]

That’s very true

[@dkallday4]

@@blasphemer_amonthe safety car had a brake failure. Kimi’s crash was way more his fault

[@BearlyBearrr]

If you ask me Oscar has a higher skill ceiling than Lando and a big potential for a world champion

[@F-Duck1]

Yk what, I agree but Lando for sure isn’t bad, I think Lando is faster but Oscar is more consistent if that makes sense

[@BearlyBearrr]

@@F-Duck1 I think Oscar is less experienced if anything, he is just more calm and can handle the preasure better than Lando. Lando isnt bad, he is a great driver but he have seemed so unconfident this season by beating himself down for doing mistakes. I don't know if its because mclaren has the fastest car or if its something else. I

Man, I hate these glazing yapping channel's, c'mon man stop comparing kid to Lewis and max to early to do that comparing him to Charles as much as like the guy he is bottler.

[@Unknownuserlmao]

I think (and hope) he only crashed because how hard he was trying to push and show his pace

[@F-Duck1]

It definitely was, kinda confused why the put him on qualifying program first instead of easing into it but oh well

[@Torero2901]

I am sorry, but NEVER EVER will I take "Toto's word" for anything. 😂 2026 is the best 1st season in F1, let the youngster mature more, there's 0 hurry to draft him in now.

[@F-Duck1]

That’s fair

[@georgebarker1894]

I think the only reason this looks as bad as it does is because Bearman did so well on a much harder track.

[@F-Duck1]

That’s true

[@jdbb3gotskills]

I hope Kimi is another Lewis or Max level talent. He wasn’t afraid of pushing the car in P1. Even though he crashed he has the guts this sport needs. Hopefully he isn’t too crash happy next year.

[@F-Duck1]

I hope so too

[@santamom_lolreal]

i mean, it's a regular mistake. He's only 18 in his first fp1 session, half the grid did the same he js overcooked it abit, but u can't blame the kid

[@F-Duck1]

Exactly

[@santamom_lolreal]

​@F-Duck1 and with the people saying "hes sixth in f2" f2 is currently the worst way to measure talent atm

[@F-Duck1]

Oh yeah definitely

[@Bananananananannananananna]

@@santamom_lolrealexactly. F2 is supposed to be an equal spec series but having the right team plays a huge role. Prema make bearman look bang average and yet he performed really well for ferrari. Prema are similar with kimi and yet kimi is finding a way to consistently be near to the top. Hes a quick driver who just made a rookie error.
