Andrea Kimi Antonelli's first session did not began the best way possible for the Italian youngster in Monza. 10 minutes into the session, he lost control of his car, and ran into the barrier in the Parabolica corner. Team principal Toto Wolff reacted to his crash over the radio.

The Italian was briefly running in P1 in FP1, however, 10 minutes after the session began, he lost control over his - and George Russell's - car into Parabolica and crashed. Toto Wolff instantly jumped on the team radio channel, and told Antonelli: "Kimi all good, all good Kimi!"

Talking to GPblog, Mercedes confirmed that Antonelli did drive with the updated floor, but they have spares, so it will not impact their rest of the weekend.
