P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Can Kimi Antonelli break this Lewis Hamilton F1 record by the end of the season?
Lewis Hamilton’s 2007 F1 season is widely considered the best debut season in the history of the sport, narrowly missing out on the championship to Kimi Raikkonen.
Scoring 109 points for McLaren that year, Hamilton set the record for the most points scored by a rookie, a record that still stands today.
Despite changes in the points system after 2010, he remains unchallenged in this aspect.
In 2023, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri came close but fell short with 97 points, and the upcoming 2025 season offers a potential to break Hamilton’s record.
Andrea Kimi Antonelli currently sits on 64 points after 14 rounds, needing 46 points in the final 10 races to surpass Hamilton’s milestone.
With Mercedes typically competitive on any given weekend, Antonelli’s chances of breaking the record seem promising, although his recent form has been less consistent.
