- The much awaited first test with an F1 ground effect car has finally happened, with the young Italian Andrea Kimi Antonelli making his first laps at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola this morning
Antonelli is definetly one of the most interesting drivers of the feeder series panorama, being rumoured to be a possible contender to replace Lewis Hamilton in Mercedes next year, but there could be also the chance to see in the Williams this year, starting from Monza or even from Imola, even if it's quite a bold thing to assume since at the time he will still be 17
What do you think about Antonelli? We will see him in F1 soon?
There has been also
Enjoy the video!
Why cant the fia use mics like this. The V6 actually sounds pretty okay
The V6 in person sounds amazing! The turbo spool and backfires are so loud
no idea why in this sort of video we get so much audio detail compared to tv!
you can clearly hear the V6, the turbo, tires vibrating over curbs, you even get some glimpse of the differential working!
Exactly what I was thinking. It ain't half bad.
The v10 sounded like a jet engine at your face.
If I would have to guess it is maybe because in this video you can hear other ambient sounds (birds etc).
I can think of a whole bunch of reasons why the tv people would want to make sure they only have audio of the cars and not anything else that one might hear.
Just a guess, but agreed.
I remember hearing a video of one of the merc cars at goodwood from the front and the intake sound/sucking was tremendous (at idle)
Ten years after turbo V6 in F1, they become much, much louder than they used to be in 2014.
Mannn, I still remember how quiet 2014 car sounds like.
Now, they are echoing everywhere after diasppearing from your eyesight after it went by.
Hopefully 2026 regs work as intended and let the engines rev closer to the 15k max!! Recently teams have been keeping it to about 11k-12k. These v6s have so much growl under load and in lower revs, but just doesn’t quite rev like an angry F1 engine.
@@chemandol8554 I read somewhere they are targeting 12k still. The reason they don't rev higher is fuel flow limits which are being reduced further in 2026. So they will achieve 12K RPM in 2026 with a higher air to fuel ratio then they do now which will be quieter. Offset with the removal of the MGU-H, the cars probably will sound a little different but not any louder or quieter than they are now.
Don't quote me on that though, I can't remember where I read that and I might be wrong
@@CTcuber4K yeah they aren’t reducing the flow, at least in the regulations. It’s not gonna be measured by amount of fuel but by the joules of output. So hopefully means the teams will be more willing to stretch the rpm a little
Still shit
@@CTcuber4KYou forgot one thing sir, actual f1 got 8 gears gearbox while the 2026 f1 will have 6 gears, so the f1 should probably rev higher (that's one of the FIA's goal)
Mercedes are definitely eyeing that Sargeant seat for Antonelli this year, in order to prepare him for the Mercedes seat next year.
I really hope you're right
I’d much rather that happen than him wasting a whole year at Williams in 2025.
@ibra_geo If hes put in the williams, they can see if albon or antonelli is better (i think albon is rubbish though honestly). If antonelli isnt fast enough theyll put sainz in
I was saying this from 2023 no one was listening to me 😢
It’s more likely Antonelli will go straight into the Mercedes team if they are unable to tempt max
This car looks with this livery so good. Kinda like a 2021 mixed with 2022. The 2024 merc also looks good. Like a 2005 mixed with ofc 2022
no merc in 2005 bro
@@Hamisxa yeah i no but i mean f1 car, if u think of an f1 car from than
@@Jasongilliarexact bro .. 2005 McLaren livery was aggressively epic !
@@Jasongilliar nah man, either go full black or silver arrow. This whole half and half thing look like a bad remake of the 05-06 McLaren
@@MrSilverfish12 nah this is the best livery since 2018
The V6 engine actually sounds really good here.
It's not has bad as people think
FIA needs to invest in some new microphones💀 these cars are actually not too bad sounding, just on tv it sounds like a depressed vacuum
With the commentary i think it's not too easy
That livery on the w13 is cursed
The W12 ran that livery in their new york event, its even more cursed
The V6's sound so smooth, I could fall asleep to the relaxing sounds of these engines...
its uncanny how much he looks like a very young senna
And testing at Imola...
@@VNeto94 stop u trigger my emotions
E nasceu em Bolonha mesma cidade da morte do Senna
That w13 looks pretty cool in the current livery
I know right? They chose full silver instead!
There's a few genuinely fast kids in f1 at the moment so the next few years look pretty exciting, can't wait.
my guyyyy lets gooooo
Stylish and smooth ride.
next to the all black livery this one is banging..it looks good on everything
Wish they never did away with the V10... Imagine that sound with this quality microphone recording it
Luckly there are still some V10 F1s in action in some events so I managed to record some of them and upload the videos in my channel
@@sportcrash71 definitely will check it out. I just wish the mainstream F1 would go back to the V10s, but the world is slowly being pussified. Every sport is softer than it's predecessor 😂
@@LtheDetective let's hope for a change to the V10s with the synthetic fuels
@@sportcrash71 idk ... F1 isn't wat it use to be. Now with electric cars, I feel it's slowly going to become ""eco friendly"" 🙄😂
I grew up with V8s but this is not that bad, just a lot quieter compared to v8 and v10
I think the same 👍
Hey sport crash, didn't Antonelli also test at Red Bull Ring in the W12? Would you or 19bozzy have any footage of that too?
No unfortunately not, i think it has been behind closed doors as well
@@sportcrash71 gotcha! Thanks for the response :D
@@r41k0n5 😁✌️
I’d like to see what he can do against Albon this season.
Oh he went off
Good to see he's pushing the limits !
I understood that reference
Grande esclusiva! Bravo!
😁✌️
I still think it was a great car but the pressure to win killed it
Still the last Mercedes to win a gp
I thought his first test was going to be in a pre 2022 car
He did drive the W12
He drove the W12 in Austria indeed
The circuit is beautiful, but the air is full of pollen.
How did Kimi's times compare? Did anyone else drive the car?
7:07 It looks like he was downshifting late compared to other passes.
Bro he's literally just testing...
@@whyAzami Bro, I know.
This is literally his first time driving the car and you’re talking about comparing times
i heard his times were faster than russels in 2022
@@RidgeF1Clubyou heard wrong
You can see he’s getting quicker throughout the video
Indeed, he's been very quick by the end of the day
Crazy how they sound so mute on TV .
Why did they repaint the W13 with W15 livery? Do they want it to go slower?
I mean like does it really matter? They wont use W13 in any more races anyways
All about the sponsors, i think. Every mercedes cars including w12 are painted in current livery
@@Bak-f4gYep. You can see old Red Bull cars carrying the new liveries when you see it in their challenges
Mercedes should've used this livery in 2022... 🥺
Quero mais vídeo desse que é da hora a gente poder ver a Mercedes pelo lado direito piloto reserva da Mercedes andando na pista aí da hora no seu canal aí que vai da gerenciar muito conteúdo trabalha bastante vídeo aí o segundo vídeo segunda parte segundo vídeo depois traz o terceiro parte do terceiro vídeo da
It looks like he never went off tho.
7:06
@@andrew-dd8lb Thanks man 👍
( I didn't see that one there)
So um editor buddy I dont think thats the W13 Unless they put a livery on it then otherwise its the W15
It's the W13 repainted
oh god not the mercedes W13
Waaaay better than the w15
@@Anonymous-i7u4y i know but in 2022 toto wolff blamed 9 CEO's, which is my worst nightmate come true
@@imbored8072 Merc is just going downhill its like they forgot how to build a great car
yes
This is the W15 btw
Edit: I’m stupid, ignore pls
it’s not, it’s a W13. Do you see the zeropods?
@@albonooo23 Fair enough, livery confused me lol
They’re not allowed to run the current season’s car outside of official test unless it’s 2 or more seasons old. Like the W13 is the most recent car Kimi can currently drive
@@Franceee___ Yeah don't know why i forgot about this when i wrote that comment....
@@ancient1946 Yeah, I don’t know what I was thinking when I wrote this comment lmao, so obvious now
I hope he replaces Sargeant by Miami. Thank you for the video❤❤
miami ? lmao yes that would be convinient ... Please be realistic and, most important, give the kid some times. Don't rush times
@@TheAstriiuslook at Max, he was rushed
Rush him please.
Can you not see how he’s already shortening the slow corners better than some other F1 drivers can.
He isn't allowed to according to the FIA regs, can't get a super license until he's 18. And despite what everyone's talking about, the FIA aren't gonna grant an exception to get him one now cause they specifically created the rule to prevent this exact scenario after Max debuted at 17
He isn't even old enough ...
For the moment he has not enough super licence point, no ?
He has, just not enough age
they can ask for an exception
@@RidgeF1Club They don't want to do that for Colton Herta with was more experimented that Kimi Antonelli. Why they accept this time ?
@@ykprhe has 67 points. The points needed for a super license are 40. Keep in mind that most drivers in F2 don’t even have enough for a superlicense, whereas Kimi had enough without driving in F2 or F3. That’s how dominant he’s been.
@@illyricus.You cant compare f4 cars to f1 cars tho...way less grip and power.
That‘s w15
no, it's w13 with w15 livery (they can't run actual cars on private tests)
Kimi with an Italian name. He'd probably fit in better a Ferrari. At least he's got a famous first name to live up to.
Grande Kimi,you can now have the drink.
Whoops wrong Kimi 😂😂
First name is Andrea
Petronas is better than Shell!
no biggie.
Oli Bearman 2 points, Antonelli 24 so far... ouch. And it's Kimi's first races ever in F2, while Oli had last year, a full season in F2, plus F3 to adapt and he's getting murdered already.
oli bearman 6 in f1, antonelly 0 so far, ouch
@@cupuacu4life13that’s nothing to shout about in the 2nd fastest car

Hey kiddo I love you but that car wants Mick Schumacher ❤
Lol mick isn't going anywhere, he's average and not getting a f1 seat back again
A lot of pollen.
Unfortunately that's the price to take for Imola in this period of the year
this boys is great but is early to run in formula 1
But headfirst into a top team nah let him cook in a Williams first then let’s see how he stacks up against George
To be fair, you don't really run in F1, so I think his cardiovascular health should be able to hold up to the challenge. But I get your point.
@@RedOptics Max entered way too early too. His driving was beyond dirty and messy back then. Pace isn't everything! Racecraft is also vital to have, and is something Max definitely lacked when he entered the sport.
@@RedOpticsBut the rules were changed after Verstappen arrived
For my kimi dont have Phisic strenght to make a full Gp race!i Have see in Gp2 and her say is hard,and I have trouble,to manage tiers!Maybe in 2 years is enought exp!Her mistake,go in gp2 and not make first gp3!And change a lot from gp3 and gp2!
Good for him but where is all the hype coming from?🤣
I don’t get it either 🤷🏽♂️he’s good but it’s not like dude is dominating in f2
He literally won everything he could and set impressive times in his first W13 test
This guy is a future star for sure
W13 with 2024 livery looks cursed
No. This livery is what the W13 should've looked like!
W12
W13 actually, look at the front and rear wings and the nose
The W12 was the 2021 car, he's done testing in that one already in Austria
That’s the W15.
W13 has different color
Tatis the w13 Justina tath they paint it with the colors of the w15 but in you look at the side pods you will se tath are the same tath the w13
@@venunix you right
Man the w13 looks so ugly in a black livery, forgot how bad the car was
Strangely...their most competitive car so far
How that w13 look ugly? Why you more different than anybody else
He is terrible in the best car in f2 😂!
No that is not the Best cár. He is much better Than his teammate Oliver beRmann who made a good result ín a formula öné race with ferrari
Prema hasn't been the best in F2 for years. Plus it's spec-series so there is no best car, just resources for data, and setups lol
6th in the standings as a rookie without F3 experience as well🤷
So overrated
How
Overrated
God, the current cars sound awful.
There's no way you said that after watching this video. Sure it's not comparable to the V8s and V10s, but no way this is awful
@@Dishanta_Goswami yes, way.
In a merc.. boring
What do you expect? Him in a Red Bull? Why would he go to Red Bull?

You're just jealous the Mercedes now have a lightning fast prospect that could potentially fill or even exceed Hamilton's niche and an even better chance at nailing the engine regulations again of 2026 ramping up their chances of previous dominance again.
