安东内利表示,他理解法拉利未来可能会追求他的这种长期猜测,但他坚称自己“在梅赛德斯仍有很多可以回馈的”。
基米·安东内利(安东内利)淡化了关于他未来可能为法拉利车队效力的猜测,他表示自己整个职业生涯都可能留在梅赛德斯。
这位20岁的意大利车手在仅仅第二个F1赛季的前12站比赛中就超出所有预期,以59分的优势领跑车手积分榜。
安东内利在2026年的出色表现使他在意大利的人气大幅上升,这给本周末的意大利大奖赛上通常忠于法拉利的主场车迷带来了潜在的抉择难题。

当被问及对于他职业生涯后期可能加入法拉利的期待时,Antonelli说:“我自己是意大利人,我知道我们有多么感性,对事情会多么兴奋。有时候甚至过于兴奋。
安东内利 赢得比利时大奖赛。
"当然,总会有这种传言,但归根结底,尽管法拉利是一个庞大而了不起的品牌,我对自己现在所在的地方非常满意。
"我对梅赛德斯非常满意,因为从我小时候起就是他们给了我机会,我觉得我有很多东西要回报他们。必须接受这一点。"
安东内利对维斯塔潘与红牛的长期合作持开放态度
安东内利随后被问及对马克斯·维斯塔潘近期决定与红牛续约的看法,红牛当年同样是在维斯塔潘还是少年时就签下了这位荷兰车手。
维斯塔潘在2015年17岁时获得红牛当时的青年车队托罗·罗索(Toro Rosso)的车手席位,随后在下一个赛季被提拔进入红牛一线车队。
2026赛季将是维斯塔潘在红牛的第10个完整赛季,而安东内利预计自己在梅赛德斯也会有类似的未来。
尼科·罗斯伯格讨论了马克斯·维斯塔潘与红牛的续约,称这对车队来说是一个“极其重要的信号”。
“我认为马克斯与红牛有着非常棒的关系,”安东内利说,“而且,是他们在他非常年轻的时候就让他进入了赛车。是他们给予了他信任。”
“从我所看到的来看,我觉得他在车队里很开心。他可能也希望继续留在他们身边。他可能也相信这个项目。所以,我认为他有一切理由和一切权利留在红牛。”
"如果有一天他想改变,那也取决于他自己。但只要他在现在的位置上过得开心,为什么不呢?
"我在梅赛德斯也会这样做。我觉得,首先,我有太多可以带给他们的东西。如果我在他们那里一直都很开心,我很可能也会在整个职业生涯中都留在他们身边。
"所以,让我们拭目以待吧。当然,你永远不知道会发生什么。"
尽管这是安东内利的家乡比赛,梅赛德斯仍选择在蒙扎赛道让安东内利接受发车位处罚,原因是他本赛季使用引擎超出了允许的配额。
今年早些时候发生的两次独立的引擎问题,使得安东内利不可避免地要在某个时候接受处罚,而蒙扎被认为是最容易从发车区末尾一路向前追赶的赛道之一。
“从某种程度上说,这有助于释放压力,尽管我非常宁愿去争夺杆位并从前排发车,”安东内利说。
基米·安东内利表示,在意大利大奖赛从发车区末尾起步意味着他可以更‘享受’这场比赛。
"不过,从某种角度看,我觉得这让我在进入这个周末时会更放松一些,这也是为什么我将能够更享受驾驶和这个周末本身。
"当然,这也是一个不同的机会,一个在这个周末尝试不同事物的机会。尤其是在自由练习中采用不同的工作方法,因为我们有条件这样做。
"我认为这将会是一个非常有趣的周末。"
梅赛德斯此前曾解释说,这一决定有可能减轻安东内利(Antonelli)的压力,一方面降低了他在主场赛事中的期望值,另一方面也让他能在积分榜上保持明显领先优势的情况下接受处罚。
安东内利以59分的优势领先他的梅赛德斯队友乔治·拉塞尔和法拉利的刘易斯·汉密尔顿,而迈凯伦的兰多·诺里斯在赢得最近两场比赛后,以落后83分位列第四。
基米·安东内利超过梅赛德斯队友乔治·拉塞尔,随后因发动机故障退出比赛。
安东内利补充道:“当然,目标始终是一样的,我们会努力将比赛结果最大化。”

Kimi Antonelli: Mercedes driver plays down speculation around future switch to Ferrari ahead of Italian GP
Kimi Antonelli goes into his home race at the top of the Drivers' Championship; the Italian responded to speculation that he could drive for Ferrari later in his career; watch Friday's practice sessions for the Italian GP at 11.30am and 3pm, live on Sky Sports F1
Kimi Antonelli says he understands the likely long-running speculation that Ferrari will make a move for him in the future, but insists he 'still has a lot to give back' at Mercedes.
Kimi Antonelli played down suggestions that he could drive for Ferrari in the future as he claimed he could spend his entire career with Mercedes.
The 20-year-old Italian has exceeded all expectations to lead the Drivers' Championship by 59 points after 12 rounds of just his second season in Formula 1.
Antonelli's superb 2026 form has seen his popularity grow massively in Italy, creating a potential dilemma for the home fans at this weekend's Italian Grand Prix who would usually be loyal to Ferrari.

Asked about expectations that he could join Ferrari later in his career, Antonelli said: "Being an Italian myself, I know how emotional we are and how excited we can get about things. Sometimes overly excited.
Kimi Antonelli wins the Belgian Grand Prix.
"Of course, there will always be this kind of talk but, at the end of the day, as much as Ferrari is massive, incredible brand, I am very happy where I am.
"I am very happy with Mercedes because they are the ones who have given me the opportunity since I was a kid and I feel like I have so much to give back to them. Got to live with that."
Antonelli open to Verstappen-Red Bull longevity
Antonelli was later asked for his views on Max Verstappen's recent decision to sign a contract extension with Red Bull, who similarly signed the Dutchman as a teenager.
Verstappen was 17 when he was given a drive at Red Bull's then junior squad Toro Rosso in 2015, before promoted into the senior team during the following season.
The 2026 season is Verstappen's 10th full campaign with Red Bull, and Antonelli foresees a similar future for himself with Mercedes.
Nico Rosberg discusses Max Verstappen's contract extension with Red Bull, saying it's a 'super important message' for the team.
"I think Max has an incredible relationship with Red Bull," Antonelli said. "Also, they were the one to put him in a car at a very young age. They were the one to put the trust.
"I feel like he's happy in the team, from what I can see. And he probably feels like wanting to stay with them. He probably believes as well in this project. So, I think he has all the reasons and all the rights to stay with Red Bull.
"And if one day he wants to change, then it's going to be up to him. But as long as he's happy where he is, why not?
"I will do the same with Mercedes is. I feel like I have, first of all, so much to give them. And if I will be happy all throughout with them, I will probably stay with them for my whole career as well.
"So, let's see. Of course, you never know what can happen."
Despite it being Antonelli's home race, Mercedes have chosen Monza as the circuit for Antonelli to receive a grid penalty for exceeding his engine allowance for the season.
Two separate engine problems earlier in the year made it inevitable Antonelli would have to take a penalty at some point, and Monza is viewed as one of the tracks where it's easiest to fight through the field from the back of the grid.
"In some ways it helps to release pressure, although I [would] very much rather fight for pole and start at the front," Antonelli said.
Kimi Antonelli says starting at the back of the grid in the Italian GP means he can 'enjoy' the race more.
"But, in some ways, I feel like it makes me a bit more relaxed going into the weekend and that's why I am going to able to enjoy more the driving and the weekend itself.
"Of course, it's as well a different opportunity, an opportunity to try something different during the weekend. A different work method in free practice especially because we have the chance to do so.
"I think it's going to be a very interesting weekend."
Mercedes had previously explained that the decision had the potential to relieve pressure on Antonelli, both by decreasing expectations at his home event, and also by serving the penalty while he retains a significant lead at the top of the standings.
Antonelli leads both his Mercedes team-mate George Russell and Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton by 59 points, with McLaren's Lando Norris 83 points back in fourth after winning the last two races.
Kimi Antonelli goes past Mercedes teammate George Russell before retiring from the race with engine failure.
Antonelli added: "Of course, the goal is always the same and we're going to try and maximise the result.
