We were able to organize this for school. I think it is a good way to see this world with its own eyes. They used to watch the races on television, but they didn’t really know what is happening behind this.
“I think it is a really good experience and I really hope you enjoy it. We have organized some activities, later I am the car and explain a little, without having too much details,” Antonelli added. “It is a good way to maintain the relationship because I don’t spend much time at home, so I don’t see them often. These little things can make a difference.”

Even so, Mercedes’s rookie admitted that staying up to date with school has been a challenge when he adapts to life on the network.
“Well, I can’t attend school, but I’m trying to study what I can, as special in those little moments I have for free,” Antonelli said Thursday in Isola. “I also receive help from school to try to catch up because they definitely miss me a lot of work this time.
“But it is not easy, because that also requires energy and effort. Especially before such an important weekend, it is really important to handle that side, not do too much to save energy. But yes, every time I am at home or I have a little free time, I try to do a little just to stay active and catch up as possible.”
Antonelli also expects the energy of their home races to help a difference on the track this week.
“This weekend will be emotionally and mentally exhausting: homemade races in front of Italian fans, and as I said, my family and friends will attend. Therefore, it will be really important to handle energy, as a special OEFF, and not where Iuf, and no. Antonelli.
“It will be important to stay aware of that, it is really easy to reach the bottom of the pack before the end of the weekend. A normal weekend is very exhausting and drain, so this is like double. In fact. People around me really help.
“At the end of the day, it is another race weekend, but due to the circumstances it will be different. At the same time, it will be really exciting,” added Mercedes. “I think the energy will be incredible and that can be used to do the same on the track. I really hope to see how we are going this weekend.”
That weekend seriously begins with two practice sessions on Friday, before the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix this weekend.
