Antonelli has 'learned massively' and 'matured a lot' during rookie season for Mercedes.

Your first full season in F1, nearly in the books. How do you reflect on it? Because it's been an up and down season, but lots to be proud of for you. It's been going very fast, faster than I expected. Melbourne still doesn't, you know, it feels not long ago. And, you know, I'm actually sad we're already at the end of the season. I would like to have a bit more races. Of course, it's not possible. But, you know, I've been enjoying quite a lot. Obviously, a season of up and downs. But, you know, we've been having a strong, you know, second, you know, last part of the season, a strong one. So definitely, you know, a lot of positive to take away. And despite, you know, also the difficult moments, I have to say I've learned massively. And I grew up a lot as a person and I mature a lot. So really glad. And, yeah, just aiming to finish the season on a high and then focus on to 2026. What is your recollection of when you were picked up by Mercedes? What's the support you have gotten? And what's it like for the first time to put the Mercedes outfit on? It's very special. You know, when you get the call that, you know, you're joining the program, it's always very exciting. Because, you know, it's a massive opportunity. You see from all of a sudden, you see that there's a higher chance that you can make it if it works out. And, of course, you know, being in an academy, as I said before, is very exciting. It's a big moment, especially as a kid. And I think also for the family as well. Of course, already from a young age, it's a responsibility. Because, obviously, being in an academy, then you need to fulfill the expectations. But it's a massive opportunity. And, of course, when, you know, in my case, you know, having the stars on the suit, having the star on the helmet. And, you know, it was very nice. And I remember being very, very excited to wear the suit for the first time and the new helmet. So, you know, it's a big, big, big moment. And it's definitely very nice to share also this kind of moment with family.
