Mercedes junior Andrea Kimi Antonelli crashed out of practice just 10 minutes into his FP1 debut at the Italian Grand Prix. Antonelli, who was heavily rumored to be Lewis Hamilton’s replacement, had completed F2 practice before the incident. Despite setting the fastest lap on soft tires, Antonelli lost control at Parabolica and hit the barrier. Luckily, he reported being OK after the heavy impact. While Mercedes has spare parts for the car, they need to assess potential damage to the power unit, which is part of George Russell’s allocation, before the next race.
