Franco Nugnes (Director of Motorsport.com Italy) has very close, personal connections with the Antonelli family. He's the author of the article about Mercedes reliability issues.
It goes far beyond standard professional reporting on Andrea Kimi Antonelli; their bond dates back much further and is deeply rooted.
As Nugnes himself has shared, he knows the family exceptionally well—especially Kimi's father, Marco Antonelli, who is a driver and the founder of the Antonelli Motorsport team. Nugnes revealed that he spent years working closely alongside Marco, having actually raced as a driver for his team.
I know the Antonelli family very well. I had the privilege of spending years in close contact with Marco, Kimi's father, as I used to race for his team. I can assure you that this is a family in which a young man pursuing his dream of reaching Formula 1 is also expected to achieve good results at school.
