Kimi Antonelli has come under fire from Jacques Villeneuve for “a move that you might see in Formula 4 or Formula 3”
Former Formula 1 star Jacques Villeneuve criticized Kimi Antonelli for his clash with Charles Leclerc in the Dutch Grand Prix, suggesting that maybe F1 is too challenging for Antonelli. Antonelli, a Mercedes rookie, received a 10-second time penalty for causing the collision that sent Leclerc’s Ferrari into the wall on lap 53. Villeneuve described Antonelli’s move as something more appropriate for junior categories like Formula 4 or Formula 3. Despite Antonelli’s young age and recent F1 debut, Villeneuve emphasized that age should not be an excuse for his errors, pointing out successful young drivers like Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. Villeneuve stressed the importance of better calculation and decision-making at the pinnacle of motorsport.
