Mercedes star Antonelli replaced as team release official statement

PREMA Racing have announced one of the replacements for outgoing Formula 1 duo Kimi Antonelli and Oliver Bearman.

 

Stars of the Mercedes and Ferrari junior programmes, both names competed for PREMA in Formula 2 this season, with Antonelli finishing sixth in the standings, with Bearman down in 12th.

 

 

Antonelli secured two wins with the team in 2024, whilst Bearman acquired three sprint race victories across the season. As a result of their performances, both in F2 and tests for their new teams, the two drivers will graduate into F1 full-time for the 2025 season.

 

 

 

With Bearman set to step in at Haas, no doubt most of the scrutiny will be on Antonelli, with the young Italian star stepping in to replace Lewis Hamilton at the Silver Arrows.

 

If replacing a seven-time world champion was not pressure enough, the 18-year-old has been tipped to do great things in the sport, with spectators very keen to see what he can do alongside Georg

e Russell.
