Italian Andrea Kimi Antonelli could make an appearance in Formula 1 before he turns 18 after the FIA modified licence age limits that have been in place since 2015.
Italian Andrea Kimi Antonelli could make an appearance in Formula 1 before he turns 18 after the governing body, the FIA, modified licence age limits that have been in place since Max Verstappen debuted at 17 in 2015. Antonelli is tipped to replace Ferrari-bound, seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes at the end of the season but has also been linked to Logan Sargeant's seat at Williams.
The minimum age for a driving licence in Italy is 18 but that clause was quietly deleted this week in the FIA regulations. A new clause now says that 'at the sole discretion of the FIA, a driver judged to have recently and consistently demonstrated outstanding ability and maturity in single-seater formula car competition may be granted a Super Licence at the age of 17 years old'.
