Antonelli explains how he will approach Monza differently to Imola

Andrea Kimi Antonelli is set for his second home race at Monza, feeling "much more prepared" after a challenging Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola. The Mercedes driver reflected on his previous home event, where he failed to reach Q3 and retired from the race, admitting he didn't manage his energy or focus optimally amid off-track distractions. This time, the 19-year-old is confident in his refined approach for Monza, a circuit holding mixed emotions after a crash during his FP1 debut last year, but also significant as the place where his 2025 Mercedes drive was announced. Antonelli aims to maximize his performance, having learned crucial lessons on energy management and race weekend behavior.
