It's coming up.

Next question comes in from P1 Patriot member Lex Wakeman.

With the rumoured Mercedes engine advantage this year, how many potential race wins could Antonelli have?

Podium in his first year, maybe eyes on the championship in the second?

I think that sort of trajectory makes sense for me.

I think Kimi, what we saw last year, were moments of brilliance, but not nearly enough to suggest that he can win a world championship yet.

I think that's doing George Russell a massive disservice if we say that Kimi, from what we have seen last year, will be able to beat George.

Yeah, imagine predicting him for the world championship, crazy.

I imagine predicting Charles Leclerc to win the World Championship.

I'm already massively regretting that.

I genuinely think there's more chance of Nico Hülkenberg winning the World Championship.

But back to Mercedes, back to Kimi.

I think this makes perfect sense.

I would expect him to get a few wins.

I'd expect him to be on the podium a lot.

What kind of step up we're going to see this year, and I think we've sort of explored that a little bit, is unknown.

If we see an Oscar Piastri-esque step up, then perhaps.

Kimi does have the talent, he has the raw speed.

And, you know, I'm in two minds whether these new regulations will actually play into the hands of the rookies and the not as much experience because they don't have as much muscle memory to sort of overturn.

So there's that side of things.
