Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has warned George Russell that his new Mercedes team-mate Andrea Kimi Antonelli “can be a danger” during the 2025 F1 season.
Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari a year ago resulted in Antonelli joining Russell at Mercedes. Russell outperformed Hamilton last season in qualifying and points. Antonelli, with 9000km of testing experience, will debut alongside Russell. Toto Wolff downplays expectations for Antonelli, while Marko sees potential in him challenging Russell. The possibility of Verstappen joining Mercedes puts pressure on Russell’s position. Rosberg predicts a potential showdown between Russell and Antonelli for a spot at Mercedes, should Verstappen become available.
