After much speculation and a long wait, Mercedes have opted for a lineup that has "experience, talent, youth, and out-and-out raw speed" (in the words of Toto Wolff, team boss). 

After Lewis Hamilton's wild departure from the Mercedes outfit, silly season sprung into action, and the result has been Sainz to Williams, and now... Andrea Kimi Antonelli to Mercedes!

The 18-year old F2 star will become George Russell's teammate for 2025, as well as the first Italian driver on the grid since Antonio Giovinazzi in 2021.

What are your thoughts? Comment below!

Considering the options, this was the right choice

This will either go extremely well like verstappen or either fail badly like schumi in merc (no offence to scumi fans)

Speaking of Schumacher, given that Mercedes didn't choose their reserve driver (Mick Schumacher) I feel like he's either gonna leave the team, or he's still working himself out for a few seasons before another attempt.
