In the round-up: Andrea Kimi Antonelli says he’s targetting race victories for 2025
In brief
Winning ‘main goal’ for Antonelli
Mercedes junior driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli says his goal for his rookie season in F1 next year is to try and “bring home some victories.”
“I feel ready for F1,” Antonelli said at the Festival dello Sport.
“In terms of speed, I believe that won’t be an issue. The only thing that will require a lot of work is understanding how to manage the race weekend in the best way possible and learning all the procedures. So, there will be a lot to learn, but I feel ready.
“Certainly, winning a few races would be a dream. It won’t be easy because all the teams have competitive cars, so it will be very difficult, but this is my first goal. Even a few podiums would be good, but the main goal is to bring home some victories.”
Montoya needs “less and less” help from father
F3 racer Sebastian Montoya says he is becoming increasingly confident in his own driving abilities and seeking support from his multiple grand prix winning father Juan Pablo Montoya less and less.
“He kind of taught me everything I know,” Montoya said in response to a question from RaceFans. “I always ask him for advice. It’s honestly really good, but I think now I’m at a point with driving where it’s just small things and nothing big, I hope.
“It’s really beneficial and it’s really helped me a long way. I think now every time I kind of less and less need his help, but obviously I’ll always seek his advice and I’m always listening to what he has to say.”
