The 18-year-old driver, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, dominated early in practice but crashed, acknowledging he needs a more measured approach to find his limits on track.
He faced a significant lesson after his crash, admitting that his ambition to push hard was hampered by unexpectedly low grip levels on the Monza circuit.
Mercedes remains confident in Antonelli's abilities despite the crash, with George Russell stating he has the speed and will increase in experience through mistakes.
Antonelli's rapid progression to F1 parallels that of Max Verstappen, highlighting the exceptional talent that he brings to the Mercedes lineup.
