F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has endorsed Mercedes star Kimi Antonelli for a move to Ferrari after a solid start to his career.

Antonelli is currently the only Italian driver on the grid, and the first full-time entry to hail from the country since Antonio Giovinazzi in 2021, automatically making him an attractive candidate for a future Ferrari seat.

Ferrari’s former president, Luca Di Montezemolo, hinted at the Bahrain GP that he would have liked to have seen Antonelli on the pathway to a Ferrari seat, and now F1’s CEO has also endorsed the youngster.

Could Antonelli join Ferrari?

The rookie has achieved solid points finishes in three out of four rounds in 2025, but still remains a little behind his experienced team-mate George Russell, whose podium finishes have placed the Mercedes driver in world title contention.
