The battle between the Mercedes pair has been bubbling under the surface, but it could boil over in Florida
Mercedes arrives at the Miami Grand Prix in a dream scenario: having the fastest car, a significant lead in the constructors’ championship, and both drivers topping the standings.
Surprisingly, Kimi Antonelli leads the championship, overtaking the initial favorite, George Russell, who sits in second place.
Antonelli’s recent success, winning the last two races, has shifted the focus within the team, despite Russell’s victory in the season opener.
With the pressure mounting, the Miami GP’s unique sprint format could intensify the competition between the two drivers, providing more opportunities for points and potential conflicts.
Team principal Toto Wolff has already emphasized the importance of team values over individual pursuits, aiming to prevent any toxic rivalry like the one seen between Hamilton and Rosberg in the past.
