George Russell isn’t the only Mercedes driver to have enhanced his reputation this year.
The latest member of its junior scheme, 16-year-old Andrea Kimi Antonelli, ran away with the Italian and ADAC Formula 4 series before contributing to Italy’s victory in last week’s FIA Motorsport Games by steamrolling the F4 division at Paul Ricard. And while anybody who has been paying attention to GT3 racing in recent years has been left in no doubt about Raffaele Marciello’s abilities, he only further underlined his credentials as one of the best sportscar racers outside the prototype classes by following his sweep of the Spa 24 Hours, GT World Challenge Europe and overall titles with the ADAC GT Masters crown.
