After what happened on Saturday, not a bad way to start the season for Kimi Antonelli.
Kimi Antonelli finished as the runner-up to teammate George Russell in the Australian Grand Prix, just three seconds behind him at the end of the race in Melbourne.
This marked the first one-two finish for Mercedes in 71 years without Lewis Hamilton present.
Despite a rough start that saw him drop to seventh place after the opening lap, Antonelli managed to fight his way back to secure second place.
Antonelli expressed his relief and satisfaction with the team’s performance, calling it the best possible start to the season.
Looking ahead, he acknowledged the challenges faced during the race but remained optimistic about the upcoming events, particularly the next race in China.
