Kimi Antonelli completed his rapid rise to the F1 grid this year as he signed to replace Ferrari-bound Lewis Hamilton.
Antonelli skipped F3 level competition to partake in the F2 series last year before being ushered into a full-time race seat at Mercedes.
The 18-year-old enjoyed a strong opening phase to his career, scoring 48 points in the opening six rounds.
He also bagged a surprise sprint pole position in Miami, but crossed the line in seventh place at that shorter race.
Antonelli has failed to score points at the last three rounds as reliability issues ended his races from Imola and Barcelona, while a qualifying crash in Monaco left him down the order for the grand prix.
But has Antonelli impressed you during his opening stint in F1?
