SPARK S9573 Mercedes W16 n°12 Antonelli Melbourne 2025

The Mercedes W16 #12, driven by Italian rookie Kimi Antonelli, made a notable debut at the 2025 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. After a challenging qualifying session hampered by floor damage, Antonelli fought back impressively in the rain-affected race. Initially handed a penalty for an alleged unsafe pit release, Antonelli was ultimately reinstated to 4th place after Mercedes successfully appealed to the stewards. He thus became the youngest Italian driver to score significant points on his Formula 1 debut.
