Kimi Antonelli: "In Formula 1, all newcomers work under high pressure. I'm lucky, I'm surrounded by good people, a good team that supports me in everything, so I don't feel a lot of pressure, but it doesn't happen everywhere. Sometimes Formula 1 can be very cruel.
There are big companies here, high expectations – the fight is going on at the highest level and results are expected from you. In my case, as in the case of some other racers, we represent the brand. We need to perform well and meet these expectations, although it's not easy at such a high level. Therefore, the pressure is very high, and it needs to be dealt with."
