Half of F1 fans believe Kimi Antonelli should be loaned out by
Mercedes for the 2026 season. Mercedes has not yet finalised its
driver line-up for next year's campaign as Max Verstappen continues
to be linked with the squad. It has been speculated that a
potential arrival for Verstappen would likely see George Russell
moved aside. However, should Mercedes wish to field the line-up of
Verstappen and Russell, it could opt to shift its rookie prodigy
Kimi Antonelli elsewhere. RacingNews365 asked you, the fans, if you
thought Mercedes should look to loan Antonelli out for next year.
Just over half of F1 fans believe it would be the right choice for
Mercedes. Thirty-eight per cent of votes state Antonelli should be
kept on at Mercedes, making those two options the most popular.
However, six per cent of fans think Antonelli should be demoted to
a reserve driver role next year at the Brackley-based squad. See
the full results of the poll below! Should Mercedes loan out
Antonelli in 2026?
