"Firstly, I have to say a big congratulations to this big lad here, to Kimi. It's an amazing achievement to come into. He took my seat and he hit it hard from the get-go. So it's really great to see him progressing and he really deserves it. And a great record. It's going to take a while for someone to ever get close to that one."
"I don't know. Different scenarios, but maybe some similarities. I was obviously a rookie against a two-time world champion at the time who had been in it a long, long time. I don't think he needs any advice. He's just qualified pole, so there's really nothing I can pass down to him. He's got all the wisdom I think he needs."
Kimi Antonelli achieved a historic milestone by becoming Formula 1's first teenager to secure pole position at the Shanghai Grand Prix at 19 years and 201 days old, surpassing Sebastian Vettel's previous record from 2008. Antonelli outqualified his Mercedes teammate George Russell, with Lewis Hamilton finishing third in his Ferrari. Hamilton, who vacated the Mercedes seat that Antonelli now occupies, praised the young driver's achievement and progression. Hamilton noted that Antonelli has demonstrated exceptional commitment since entering Formula 1 last season, suggesting the teenager requires no additional guidance given his current performance level and should continue his current approach of focused dedication.
