Mercedes is considering a bold move to place their young driver, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, in a Formula 1 seat with Williams. This interim step is part of a development pathway for Antonelli, who currently lacks the FIA super license to compete in F1 due to his age. At 17 years old, Antonelli is close to meeting the age requirement, but Mercedes is exploring a potential dispensation from the FIA. Williams Racing could provide a valuable platform for Antonelli to gain experience before potentially joining Mercedes in 2026.
