Mercedes is working to lessen impact of Monza FP1 crash on Kimi Antonelli’s approach.
Mercedes has been encouraging Kimi Antonelli to trust his talent and adapt to life in Formula 1 after joining at the age of 18. Antonelli has been feeling the weight of expectations and has been too cautious this season following his FP1 crash at the Italian Grand Prix. The team is advising him to believe in his abilities and be more confident on track. Despite his cautious approach, Antonelli is currently seventh in the championship, with a best result of third at the Canadian Grand Prix. His teammate George Russell, a four-time grand prix winner, has set a high standard for Antonelli in the Mercedes garage. Allison praised Russell for his strong performance, which pushes Antonelli to improve and reach a similar level of success.
