Discussions are ongoing surrounding the Italian 17-year-old’s future, including the suggestion that he might progress directly to Formula 2, bypassing F3.
He is currently leading the FRECA standings with four rounds remaining, driving for Prema.
Though the move is currently being considered, a decision is yet to be made, and Wolff warned of the perils of creating “too much hype” around young drivers.
Speaking on Saturday at Monza, he said: “I think we will all hope that Andrea can make a great career.
“But there is always the risk that if you create too much hype around a young driver, that he's not left in peace to do anything.
“He is in FRECA, he dominated F4 last year in a solid way. He's won those championships and won in go karting, and he is leading the championship in FRECA.
“We see how FRECA goes, then will take a decision what to do, together with his father and Kimi, what are we doing next year? And in which directions to go?
“But I'm happy that there is an Italian in the starting blocks for a great career.”
Having joined the Mercedes junior programme in 2018 while still in karting, Antonelli won both the ADAC and Italian F4 championships in 2022, taking 13 wins in 20 races in the latter.
This year, he has already been crowned Formula Regional Middle East champion, and is six points clear at the top of the FRECA standings.
