It could get intense between George Russell and Kimi Antonelli at some point this season as they do battle for the F1 drivers’ title.
George Russell stated that his relationship with Kimi Antonelli remains “very good” and they are not discussing their fight for the F1 championship. Antonelli leads Russell by nine points heading into the Miami Grand Prix weekend, with Mercedes expected to remain in title contention despite rule changes. Neither driver has experience in a title fight, but Mercedes has dealt with intra-team battles like Hamilton-Rosberg. Russell emphasized focusing on performance, not the title, stating their relationship has not changed and the team is not discussing it. Russell highlighted the importance of maximizing performance and car development, drawing on past experiences in F1.
