George Russell steht vor einer psychologischen Bewährungsprobe durch Kimi Antonelli

Der ehemalige Formel-1-Pilot David Coulthard sagt, der bevorstehende Große Preis von Kanada werde ein psychologisch entscheidender Moment für George Russell, der in der Meisterschaft 20 Punkte hinter seinem Teamkollegen Kimi Antonelli liegt.

Coulthard äußerte sich dazu im Podcast Up To Speed. Er merkte an, dass Russell auf der Strecke in Montreal in der Vergangenheit gute Leistungen gezeigt habe, jedoch mit einer negativen Einstellung in das Rennen in Miami gegangen sei, die sich als schwer zu überwinden erwies. Antonelli, der 19-jährige Mercedes-Pilot, hat mit Siegen in China, Japan und Miami drei Rennen in Folge gewonnen und seinen Vorsprung nach nur vier Saisonrennen weiter ausgebaut.
