Mercedes junior driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli will graduate directly to Formula 2 with leading squad Prema after claiming this year's Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine title.
A two-time European karting champion, the Italian has made a strong impression on the junior categories to date by winning the Italian and ADAC Formula 4 titles with Prema in his first season of single-seater racing in 2022. Antonelli capped his year with victory in the FIA Motorsport Games' F4 Cup, but decided against a move to Formula 3 in 2023 in favour of a switch to FRECA with Prema.
'From Formula Regional to Formula 2, it will be a huge jump. I'm aware that it will be very challenging because the level is really high there. 'It will be a new car, for me and the others as well, but it's still going to be tough. 'I don't want to set expectations, I will try to learn as much as possible in testing to be ready for the first race, have fun as always, and do a good job.
