Kimi Antonelli has described Max Verstappen in an unusual fashion to underline the Red Bull driver’s recent supremacy in F1.
Kimi Antonelli has labeled Max Verstappen a “cannibal” as the Red Bull driver looks to catch up with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in the F1 drivers’ championship. Verstappen has only three races left to chase down the McLaren teammates, starting with the upcoming Las Vegas Grand Prix. Despite Piastri having a 25-point lead over the four-time F1 champion, it seems unlikely for him to win a fifth crown as Norris is 49 points ahead at the top of the standings. Antonelli still believes in Verstappen’s capabilities, acknowledging his consistent performance in recent years. Looking ahead to next season’s championship with new regulations, Mercedes’ focus remains on the 2025 title battle which could potentially be closely contested till the final race in Abu Dhabi.
