David Croft: Alarmglocken bei Mercedes läuten, falls George Russell gegen Kimi Antonelli verliert

Der Sky Sports-Kommentator David Croft ist der Ansicht, dass Mercedes-Pilot George Russell beim Großen Preis von Kanada besser abschneiden muss als sein Teamkollege Kimi Antonelli, um wachsende Sorgen innerhalb des Teams zu vermeiden. Antonelli liegt in der Meisterschaft nach zuletzt starken Ergebnissen derzeit 20 Punkte vor Russell.

Croft betonte den schwierigen Start von Russell in die Saison 2026, trotz eines frühen Sieges in Australien und eines Sprint-Erfolgs in China. Der Brite hatte mit Rückschlägen zu kämpfen, darunter Probleme im Qualifying in China, ein ungünstig getimtes Safety-Car in Japan und eine Strecke in Miami, die seinem Fahrstil nicht entgegenkam, was es Antonelli ermöglichte, dort sowie in Japan und beim Hauptrennen des Großen Preises von China Siege zu erzielen.
