The trailer for an upcoming documentary on Formula 1 hotshot Andrea Kimi Antonelli has been released ahead of its premiere next week. Netflix will publish ‘The Seat’ on Monday 5 May, and it will be a 45-minute documentary charting the previous year of the Italian’s life as he geared up for his promotion to F1.

In August of last year, Mercedes announced Antonelli as its Lewis Hamilton replacement for 2025, with the 18-year-old contesting his rookie F2 season at the time. “It is a dream come true to be an F1 driver with the Mercedes F1 Team,” said Antonelli, who is now five grands prix into his rookie campaign and is sixth in the standings.
