 | Toto Wolff on Antonelli`s difficulties: Max was also wrong in Toro Rosso19-12-2025 |
Wolff stood up for Antonelli after the Zandvoort stage. The head of Mercedes answered the question of whether Kimi Antonelli can cope with the increasing pressure on him in F1.
At the Dutch Grand Prix, the Italian had a difficult race with two penalties (10 seconds for contact with Charles Leclerc; 5 seconds for speeding in the pit lane) and finished 16th.
We need a driver who has speed, who can learn, who earns points - but all great drivers have made mistakes.
It`s hard to compare [Kimi with others] now. In Toro Rosso (current Racing Bulls - Sports`), Max [Verstappen] was in a different environment - but he also had moments that could be called big mistakes.
Kimi is 18 years old (already 19-Sports`), he found himself in a giant team, in Mercedes. He will make mistakes. Hopefully next year this will happen less often and he will score more points. Long term, I have 100% faith in him. What happened is part of the training, ” Wolff said.
