The FIA has lowered the minimum age for obtaining a Formula 1 superlicence to 17, potentially allowing Mercedes' young driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli to make his debut in 2024 before he turns 18. This regulatory change has significantly boosted Antonelli's chances of joining the F1 grid. Mercedes is reportedly considering promoting Antonelli to its driver line-up, which could see him partnering with George Russell in 2025. The decision to lower the superlicence age aims to accommodate drivers who have consistently demonstrated outstanding ability and maturity in single-seater formula car competition.
