The announcement that everyone was waiting for has finally become official as Mercedes announced their driver lineup for 2025. Alongside George Russell, Mercedes signed 18-year-old Andrea Kimi Antonelli to replace Lewis Hamilton. It's been a move many have been waiting for, but now it has become official after impressive results in the lower formulas from the Italian. However, despite his supreme talent, the internet is in a bit of a disagreement with the signing.

Fantastic news for Kimi. Regardless of the crash yesterday, he was fast from the get go. Promising future, great young driver line up. End of an Era with Hamilton.

Congrats to Kimi, but it’s too soon for him. Why not let him finish his f2 stint and then come on the grid with a team where there’s less pressure? Mercedes are too eager to make a mistake. Lewis’ departure is clearly destabilising.
