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