SUZUKA, Japan -- Teen Formula 1 sensation Andrea Kimi Antonelli has been dovetailing his rookie season with exam season at high school.
Antonelli, 18, is in the final year of study at Salvemini di Casalecchio di Reno Technical Institute in Bologna.
Despite an elevation to F1 this season as Lewis Hamilton's replacement at Mercedes he has opted to continue his studies.
Speaking to the Fast and the Curious podcast, Antonelli said: "It would be a shame just to quit on the last year of school. And also, my mum cares about it, so I will do it for her as well.
"I'm getting a lot of help from the school, I'm not going to lie, they're sending me stuff over but it's a big commitment."
Andrea Kimi Antonelli has finished in the top 10 twice in his first two races. Kym Illman/Getty ImagesAsked about his studies during media day at Suzuka, host of Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix, Antonelli said: "Yeah, definitely life at school has changed quite dramatically, I'm not going to lie."
Antonelli pointed to his school friends as a calming influence as he takes his first steps into the high-pressure environment of F1.
"I feel very lucky because my group of mates in my class, they've been treating me the same since last year's announcement," he added. "So I'm really happy and I feel really lucky because we have such a good relationship that whenever we go home we spend time together.
"It's really cool they treat me the same way. They've been really supportive as well. It's also really good to have a group of friends outside racing because they really help you as well to disconnect and to enjoy life in general.
"Also they are some way to recharge too, especially on the mental side because when I'm with them, I rarely think... I still think a bit about racing, but not as much as I would, just because being with them takes a bit my focus away.
"And it's nice because then when I go back in the car I feel better on that side."

BolognaIn concert Tananai in Bologna at the Unipol Arena on November 27
2024.Following a successful 2022-2023 season
Tananai is making a comeback by announcing a new “Tananai Live 2024” tour in palasport venues throughout Italy this fall
Malta will be represented by a strong team of four leading players at the 19th Mediterranean Championships to be played at the Casalecchio di Reno centre
Sue Abela and Tiziana Carannante made the selection after the qualifying tournament at the Eden Superbowl
Consistency was key in the women’s division
which was led from day one by Abela with Carannante also holding second place from the very early stages
Abela’s opening set of eight saw her shoot an excellent 1,683 to set the standard
She easily held the top spot through day two
That put her 194 pins ahead of Tiziana in second place
Joanna Attard was third on 2,829 pins with an uphill struggle on her hands over the final eight games
outplaying Carannante’s day three total of 1,406 with a fine 1,618 effort
but missed out by just 22 pins with 4,447 from her 24 games
Abela’s latest success was a foregone conclusion on day three
when she bowled a 1,606 to finish in first place on 4,863 for 24
There is no ‘Sue Abela’ like dominance among the men’s elite
with a good number of bowlers constantly vying to be top dog
Day one saw Caruana Scicluna take the top spot with a great 1,750 from eight
followed by national champion Dennis Mercieca on 1,696
There was a pack of six quality bowlers closely chasing the top three
and while Caruana Scicluna did enough on day two to hold on to first place (1,627 pins)
there was a change in second place which was taken over by Mauro Anastasi after a 1,699 set
Mercieca slipped to third with Sullivan just 30 pins down fourth
Nothing was anywhere near decided but at the end of the day it was Sullivan who claimed the top spot with his 1,699 taking him to a 4,989 final total
knocking Caruana Scicluna down into the second qualifying spot on 4,973
Anastasi missed out by 29 pins for third place while Mercieca finished fourth on 4,869

How better to explore the beautiful Tuscany region of Italy than on foot
I spent several October days with Soul Running exploring the Via della Lana e della Seta (Silk and Wool hiking trail) which connects Bologna to Prato with 130km of gorgeous trail
Tuscany offers not just rolling hills and sun-drenched wheat fields and olive groves
As part of this journey we explored medieval hill top villages where church tower bells ring out loud and soulful and sensational slow food is cooked with love
The Via della Lana e della Seta has only recently been officially opened to the public
and so our group of 9 intrepid travellers felt like pioneers into ancient Etruscan civilisations – although with the difference being the route is well-signposted and easy to follow these days – probably not back in the Etruscan era
As a runner I’m used to passing through trails at a less than gentle pace but it quickly became apparent that this route needed to be appreciated and after the first day of a gentle 6 miles we all agreed that in sync with the slow cooking movement of Tuscany we would also take this route a little slower and appreciate it even more
Our journey started from the Chiusa di Casalecchio di Reno at dusk
following the Reno Canal which was used to power silk factories
We reached Palazzo de’Rossi towards the end of the day
The Palazzo is a beautiful medieval complex made even more romantic in the setting sun housing a castle and a small village along with numerous cats that seemed to take ownership of the area
You can even hold your wedding here (cats optional)
Tuscany conjures up images of rolling hills and sun drenched landscapes filled with bright green vineyards
While in the area we took a quick visit to the Bridge of Vizzano
The bridge is an impressive single arch suspended structure built starting from 1926 and has been destroyed numerous times through historic events of war and floods
but is always rebuilt to keep the link between the two banks
On our first night we stayed in a beautiful hilltop agritourism farm surrounded by vineyards and fruit trees
At the farm we enjoyed Tuscan hospitality at its finest with delicious cold meats
before indulging in delicious home made pasta and plenty of local red wine
Day 2 on our itinerary involved the longest day of hiking from Grizzana Morandi to Castiglione dei Pepoli
The hike took us along panoramic ridges across the Reno and Setta valleys on quintessential Tuscan trails and ancient Etruscan roads through farms and small villages
we topped up on figs still hanging in the trees along the way
After arriving into Castiglione dei Pepoli we consumed gorgeous lunch at Taverna del Cacciatore
known locally as the ‘Tortellini Queen’; with her nearly being my namesake I’d like to say her amazing cooking skills come from the name
With full stomachs and a few red wines later we hike the remaining section to Vernio along chestnut tree lined woods before arriving at the Agriturismo i Corboli for a few hours of relaxation beside the pool and in the panoramic farm house before indulging in their own locally produced honey
chestnut flour products as well as their own pig meat sausages
Sitting around a massive table altogether for dinner conversations flow as easily as the red wine and the hours disappear into the night before we retire to the comfort of dark and tranquil rooms to prepare for the final day on the trail
We start the morning exploring the Molino Bardazzi
a mill renowned for transforming high quality grains into flour
With the promise of wild horses to be seen we enthusiastically climb the highest peak of our few days from Vaiano
The long hill winds up into the sunshine and we are greeted by a herd of wild horses galloping around the meadows
We can’t get our cameras out quick enough and soon we also have a drone up in the air and cameras are going crazy
with all we’ve seen throughout the week its amazing to see these wild horses invoke such a sense of excitement among all of us
Our last night is spent exploring a Unesco World Heritage Site
We stayed at the Tenuta di Artimino in beautiful apartments in the old fortified village
During our stay in the area we also explore the Museo Pecci (centre for contemporary art) and Palazzo Pretoria (Museum of Praetorian Palace) in Prato
I come away with too many bottles of locally made wine and I’m glad I have the car so I can manage to carry it all
The enchanting landscapes of this region make the Via della Lana e della Seta a must-visit in my eyes
Whether you choose to hike or run the entire 130km or just just take a couple of days to experience some part of this amazing trail you’ll find yourself won over by the people in the Apennines
captivated by the stories and the legends of an era long gone
amazed by the architecture and full of gorgeous food and wine
And what could be a better long weekend than that?
To learn more about the region including places to see and travel itineraries, head over to Prato Turismo.

The Unipol Arena is one of the icons of the city of Bologna thanks to the great artists and sportsmen who have performed in this structure
previously known as PalaMalaguti o Futurshow Station
is one of the largest multi-purpose sports facilities in our country
this stadium owes its fame to the two historic basketball teams of the Emilian capital: the Fortitude
Unipol is not only used to host basketball games
or musical events: Unipol was in fact born as an arena for live concerts
Artists and musical groups such as Paul McCartney
The Arena has also hosted important theatrical performances such as Notre Dame of Paris
until 2008 Unipol was known as PalaMalaguti; this year is of crucial importance because it was precisely in 2008 that important renovation works were carried out
a museum was built in honor of Virtus
the seats for the fans and the stairs were repainted and four giant screens were installed
increased capacity and improved connections thanks to public transport
How enthusiastic people are about the organization
acoustics and aesthetics of the Arena is clear from the numerous comments that they leave on the web
The structure has in fact become a true icon of Bologna
loved by fellow citizens but also by all tourists who want to treat themselves to a few hours of leisure
The Arena is located a few minutes away from the Casalecchio di Reno motorway exit
Where to leave the car is always a thought that worries all those people who will participate in a crowded event
the Unipol Arena has many paid parking (from 7 to 10 euros)
What will surely please sportsmen and music lovers is that during the most important events the Ikea and Carrefour car parks remain open
both located across the road from the Arena and accessible in a convenient way
