3.04.2025 Andrea Kimi Antonelli: Talking that I came to replace Hamilton seem not entirely correct. I`m just a new Mercedes pilot

Antonelli does not see the point in comparisons with Hamilton. The Mercedes pilot said that he would try to spend his debut season well in Formula 1. At the same time, the Italian noted that he was not going to be distracted by possible thoughts that someone will look at him through the prism of the status of a replacement of Lewis Hamilton.
It will not be easy, because my first season in Formula 1 awaits me, and I will chase against the 19 best riders in the world.
The world of motorsport, and Formula 1 in particular, sometimes can be very cruel, but I will try to maintain concentration and focus on myself, trying day after day, week after week to move forward and add.
Of course, I will be tuned to victory, and now I am surrounded by good people who will help me not pay attention to external distracting factors and focus on the current moment.
I feel just a new Mercedes racer, and the conversations that I came to replace Lewis Hamilton seem not entirely correct to me. After all, Lewis is a figure of enormous scale, he achieved so much. I`m just a new Mercedes pilot. But yes, I want to pave my own path, achieve good results, achieve success, ”said Antonelli.
