(Christopher Katsarov/The Canadian Press via AP) BOLOGNA, Italy (AP) — Formula 1 rookie Kimi Antonelli passed his final exams to graduate from high school back home in Italy just like he's been passing other cars on tracks around the world: without trouble. The 18-year-old Mercedes driver made the announcement in an Instagram story Monday, saying 'promosso' — 'passed' — with a photo of himself wearing a laurel wreath. Advertisement After claiming his first podium result with a third-place finish at the Canadian Grand Prix, Antonelli returned home to Casalecchio di Reno, near Bologna, to take his exams. 'I was fairly stressed, because I didn't have much time to study. But I did my best,' Antonelli told reporters after taking the first portion of exams last week. He said English is his favorite subject 'because that's the one that comes easiest for me.' Antonelli added that he wanted to complete the exams, which included both written and oral sections, before the upcoming Austrian GP 'so I can focus full time on racing.' ___ AP auto racing:

Thomas Müller tipped for move to Los Angeles FC

Thomas Müller has been tipped for a move to Los Angeles FC when his contract at Bayern Munich ends this month, reports Florian Plettenberg. The Bayern legend has long been tipped for a move to the MLS this summer as his historic time at Bayern comes to an end. Advertisement During an exclusive interview with Sky Germany, Philadelphia Union sporting director Ernst Tanner spoke about Müller's pending transfer. 'Thomas Müller was offered to us. I still have a good relationship with his agents. But financially, it's absolutely not realistic for us.' Tanner concluded with his tip for Müller's next destination: 'LAFC are Bayern's partner club. I'd be surprised if he didn't go there.' As Müller prepares to leave the only professional home he has known, the question isn't whether he will be remembered—his legacy is secure, his achievements immortalised—but whether Bayern can maintain the delicate balance between ruthless progression and cultural continuity that he so perfectly embodied. More on Müller's departure can be read here – Remembering Thomas Müller: The Raumdeuter. GGFN | Jamie Allen
