Sky Sports commentator David Croft has warned that George Russell must find a way to beat teammate Kimi Antonelli after the Italian’s third consecutive win at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix. Russell started strong in 2026, winning the season opener at Albert Park and the Sprint Race in China, but Antonelli has since dominated, out-qualifying and out-racing him. With Antonelli building momentum, Russell is now almost a full race victory behind in the standings after four races. Croft believes upgrades to the W17 and tracks favoring Russell could help turn his fortunes. The partnership between Antonelli and Peter Bonnington on the pit wall is proving effective, with Bono providing guidance and reassurance. Despite a 20-point deficit in the title battle, Russell has the opportunity to turn things around at a track like Canada, where he has performed well in the past.
