But the final goal has already been achieved. It's amazing to imagine someone competing successfully on the world's fastest racetracks in all the Formula 1 feeder series and then becoming a Formula 1 driver. And finally, officially obtaining their driver's license...
The Italian Kimi, Andrea "Kimi" Antonelli, successfully passed his driving test in San Marino and thus (also) obtained his driver's license. He had already passed the theory test a week earlier with only a single penalty. This was followed by the practical test, which included parking, reversing, and finally driving in traffic. According to Italian media, Antonelli spent 20 minutes under the strict gaze of the examiners, making no mistakes and not exceeding the speed limits. He even had no problems with clutch operation, although he hadn't had much exposure to this technical "solution" before the test; his father, Marco Antonelli, had prepared him for it with a FIAT minibus. Everything went perfectly, so now Kimi "only" has to find his place in the racing circus!
