Debut with breakdowns: Antonelli and Lawson disappoint in Melbourne!

In Albert Park in Melbourne, Formula 1, which was characterized by breakdowns and unexpected twists, occurred at the weekend. Andrea Kimi Antonelli, the young Mercedes rookie, disappointed in the qualifying of his debut by leaving in the first segment and has to go into the race from 16th place. During the third training session, Antonelli had difficulty fighting when he damaged the underbody of his W16 while driving over a curb. This aerodynamic weakness prevented him from qualifying for the second qualifying and striving for better placements. Team boss Toto Wolff described the incident as "a bit unhappy", while Antonelli himself cited the conditions on the route as a part of his misfortune, as he drove over a peak covered with gravel. According to auto-motor-und-sport.de reported.

For Antonelli and Lawson, the start of the 2025 season was anything but brilliant. While Antonelli, as the strongest rookie in the field in the third training session, ranked fifth, the shadow of the breakdowns quickly fell over the two talents.
