George Russell has been beaten by team-mate Kimi Antonelli at the last three grands prix events.
2009 F1 world champion Jenson Button has expressed confidence in George Russell’s ability to challenge team-mate Kimi Antonelli despite recent setbacks. Antonelli has won the last three races, establishing a 20-point lead in the drivers’ championship. Russell, initially favored and possessing more experience over the Italian, now faces a demanding situation as the younger racers outperform him. Button highlighted the challenge for Russell, who now has to prove himself against the rising Antonelli. The upcoming Canadian Grand Prix presents an opportunity for Russell to narrow the gap to Antonelli, as Button believes in Russell’s ability to bounce back from his early-season struggles and compete at the top level.
