1997 F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve has questioned 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kimi Antonelli's decision to bring his classmates to Imola.

Antonelli w꧒aℱs seen with many of his schoolmates on Thursday at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

Antonelli, the youngest driver o❀n the grid at 18, is balancing his F1 career with his exams.

Antonelli’s home race is this we🍃ekend, with the Italian born in nearby Bologna.

In Thursday’s press conference, Antonelli explained why he brought 25 of his classmates 💙and two teachers to Imola.

“Yeah, I organised this - thanks also to some people at Mercedes. We were able to organise this for the sꦇchool. I think it’s a good way for them to see with their own eyes this world.

“They us⛎ꦓed to watch the races on TV, but didn’t actually know what’s going on behind it. I think it’s a really good experience and I really hope they enjoy it.

“We’ve organised some activities - l🎃ater on I’ll show them the car and explain a bit, without going too much into detail.

“It’s a good way to keep the relationship because I don’t spend much tim🐻e at home, so I don’t see them often. These little things can make the difference.”

Villeneuve tells Antonelli “focus on racing”

Villeneuve bꦏelieves the attention w🦩as an unwelcome distraction for Antonelli.

“It’s cute. He brought his friends but it’s his office. Y𒐪ou shouldn’t do that. You should focus on racing,” Villeneuve said after FP3.

“I’ve heard something interesting fro🧸m 𝔍someone working with him at Mercedes. He was not super happy about this subject because it took away his focus on the racing.

“It’s the same thing when you have your whole family around, your friends. No, This is your office. You don’t want🍬 any side [distractions]. They want to have dinners.

“You need to focus on the racing and it had an eff🧸ect on him yesterda💙y. It seems better today but it did have an effect.

“Just remind yourself: It’s your office. You don’t bring friends or family to your offic🎐e.”
