Race stewards at Formula 1’s Canadian Grand Prix briefly evaluated the sprint race incidents between George Russell and Kimi Antonelli – but felt what happened was not worth an official investigation
Race stewards at Formula 1’s Canadian Grand Prix briefly reviewed the sprint race incidents between George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, determining that no official investigation was warranted. Antonelli tried to overtake Russell around the outside at Turn 1, but ran out of room, skipping over the run-off area. In another attempt at Turn 8, Antonelli locked up and ran across the grass, falling behind Lando Norris. Despite Antonelli’s claim that Russell defended unfairly, FIA stewards did not find any wrongdoing. The stewards briefly looked into the incidents as race control informed them, but ultimately concluded that no further action was needed. The drivers’ guidelines state strict criteria for overtaking on the outside, which may not have been fully met in this case. Russell defended his actions, while Antonelli acknowledged his error at Turn 8 but still questioned the fairness of the move at Turn 1.
