Formula 1|The rule was changed after Max Verstappen’s debut.
Auto racing a rule change has been made to the royal category formula 1. According to the new rule, a 17-year-old driver can drive in the formula 1 class again. For example, news about it German magazine Bild.
However, driving in the series under the age of 18 requires a special permit from the sport’s umbrella organization Fia. To get it, the driver is required to demonstrate skills and maturity in the lower classes. In addition, the driver must have a driver’s license.
The lower limit used to be 17 years, but the age limit was changed after the currently dominant player in the series Max Verstappen drove his debut race at the age of 17 with Toro Rosso. Now minors want the chance to get behind the wheel of Formula 1 again.
Bild and US ESPN believe that the change is intended to pave the way for the top promise Kimi for Antonelli. 17-year-old Antonelli is a promising Italian who currently drives in the F2 class.
Antonelli is one of Mercedes’ driver promises, and bringing him to the race weekend, for example as a test driver, requires a change.
Antonelli turns 18 in August and not having a driver’s license would have been an obstacle without the rule change.
According to ESPN, Antonelli has even been tipped as a race driver for Williams this season, but these speculations have been dismissed by Mercedes.
Antonetti has been nominated as a candidate for Mercedes next year, when Lewis Hamilton leaves the team and moves to Ferrari.
