After a crackling start to the season, the first difficulties for Rookie Antonelli arrived. In the European competitions, the young Bolognese began to fight with his Mercedes and to make the first understandable errors as a debutant, some also spoiled by reliability problems on the W16. In Belgium comes a double elimination in Q1, in qualifying of the sprint and the long race, the first of which after a testacoda. In the interviews, Kimi does not hold the tears: “There is no confidence, sincerely and I struggle to extract the maximum of the machine and a difficult moment. I have to find the light at the bottom of the tunnel”.

He explains to Sky Sport: “The car lately has started to be very nervous at the entrance and for how I Guido I do much effort because I can never bring the speed I want. This also involves having to change my driving style and this makes me go slower simply”. In qualifications it does not go beyond the 18th time, but in the Spa-Francorchamps race it will start from Pitlane: “We will change the car and obviously see how the conditions will be. Surely if it rains there will be many more opportunities to make a beautiful race.”
