Wolff tries to reduce Antonelli’s expectations

It is important to manage expectations, Toto Wolff insists on Kimi Antonelli’s debut season.

It is best to whisper it, but at a time on media attention in Italy, the debut of Lewis Hamilton focuses on Ferrari. In the same country, many hopes that the man since Alberto Ascari has hope for the first master of the home master in 1953.

For a country infected with the F1, Italy only provided two world champions, Nino Farina, who won the first World Cup in 1950 and in successive titles in 1952 and 1953.

Although the world champion was born in Italy from 1978, Mario Andretti moved to the United States as a child, and when he started the race, it did under an American license.

Could Antonelli finally bring the title back to Italy?

As far as it is Toto Wolff, he would like to take it a step.

“It is important to manage expectations” Racingnews365. “Everyone will think that he will be on Pole in Melbourne and win the race, and as much as we would dream, it is important to have it developed.”

Of course, the Youngster made his intentions on the home site last season when he took part in FP1 in Monza. Unfortunately, he went to the Parabolica just a few minutes after the session, so that he had left the fastest, like his zeal.

“He was on a big round, which would have been amazed by many people who were not so close to Formula 1,” said Wolff. “But it was only great up to the Parabolica … but he learns.

“The impressive with Kimi is that he can learn and develop continuously,” he added. “He knows himself,” he continued, referring to the adolescent’s consciousness for the steep learning curve in front of him.

“I will try to make the best of everything,” said the youngster in an interview for his team. “I have full confidence in the team.

“This chance of racing is not one that happens every day. I feel very privileged,” he added. “I am very happy to be with George. He has already shown what he can do and I can learn so much from him.

“Then you have Valtteri and his experience. I am very interested in learning from both. You can both push me further.”
