Where do Formula 1 teams spot the drivers of the future? How did Mercedes guide Kimi Antonelli from karting to F1?

F1 Explains explores junior driver programmes, which exist to find talented young drivers, and support them as they climb the motorsport ladder.

Most F1 teams have these academies. Red Bull signed a young Max Verstappen, Ferrari supported Charles Leclerc and Oliver Bearman, Lando Norris was part of the McLaren programme, and Mercedes developed George Russell, Kimi Antonelli and Esteban Ocon during their junior racing.

F1 ACADEMY leader Doriane Pin is also part of the Mercedes Junior Driver Programme. She tells Christian Hewgill how Mercedes spotted her and answers your questions on how the team is supporting her career.

And that Mercedes programme is led by Gwen Lagrue, the man who discovered Russell, Antonelli, Ocon and Alex Albon. He explains how he identifies the young kart racers with the most potential, guides them into junior car racing and decides when they are ready to step up to Formula 3, F2 and, finally, F1.
