Kimi Antonelli has revealed that Lewis Hamilton left him a message on his wall for inspiration in Imola when he left Mercedes to join Ferrari last year.
Antonelli will drive at Imola Grand Prix for the first time in Formula One.
Speaking ahead of his home race, Mercedes' young drivers said: “Unfortunately you guys cannot see but, I think it tells a lot on how Lewis is as a person. I could see a lot of the human side of Lewis, not only the driver. And reading the message… it fulfilled my heart to receive such a message from such a figure in the sport.”
