Many had thought an FIA rule change was done for Kimi Antonelli's benefit but Toto Wolff said that is not the case.
Toto Wolff has said the FIA decision to open the door to 17-year-olds to race in F1 “means nothing” for Mercedes ’ rising star Kimi Antonelli .
“It means nothing,” he told media including PlanetF1.com in Spain. “I think the FIA has taken a standpoint, saying we don’t want to have a hard limit on a particular age because it could be the fact that young men could be fast tracked if their success is outstanding. Alongside Wolff was Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur who said that age was not the crucial factor but instead the maturity of the driver.
