Hamilton believes Antonelli can drive a Ferrari in the future

Lewis Hamilton believes that World Championship leader Kimi Antonelli has all the ingredients to drive a Ferrari in the future for an all-Italian pairing.

"It's a possibility, but there are many good riders who could have a chance here in the future and I don't think Wolff will let him go anytime soon. Antonelli deserves what he's doing and has a great team at his side, he's fast and consistent, very mature for his age. Bono, who is at his side, is a stubborn, capable person who knows how to show him the way."

Hamilton, answering journalists' questions in the press conference before the Monza Grand Prix, does not believe in a cheering derby: "I think that in Italy the cheering is above all for the Red: Pope, Ferrari, pasta and pizza. I don't think Kimi will have any difficulty in reaching the top 5-6 positions straight away, but we have to concentrate on our race and the push of the fans."
