Martin Brundle delivers his verdict on a tense battle between the Mercedes drivers in Canada.
Sky Sports F1 analyst Martin Brundle agrees with the FIA’s decision not to penalise George Russell after a heated battle with Mercedes teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli in the Canadian Grand Prix sprint race. Russell and Antonelli clashed twice for the lead, with Antonelli being forced off track, but they later shook hands. Despite Antonelli losing a position to Lando Norris, Brundle believes Russell should not have been penalised as he was racing for the lead. Mercedes’ team principal Toto Wolff intervened to address the incident and set ground rules for future races. Antonelli and Russell have since reconciled after internal discussions within the team.
