David Croft asegura que saltarán las alarmas si George Russell pierde ante Kimi Antonelli

El comentarista de Sky Sports, David Croft, considera que el piloto de Mercedes, George Russell, debe superar a su compañero de equipo Kimi Antonelli en el Gran Premio de Canadá para evitar que crezca la preocupación dentro del equipo. Antonelli aventaja actualmente a Russell por 20 puntos en el campeonato tras sus sólidos resultados recientes.

Croft destacó el difícil comienzo de temporada 2026 de Russell a pesar de una victoria temprana en Australia y un triunfo en la carrera al sprint de China. El británico se ha enfrentado a contratiempos que incluyen problemas en la clasificación de China, un coche de seguridad inoportuno en Japón y un circuito en Miami que no se adaptó a su estilo, lo que permitió a Antonelli asegurar victorias allí, además de en Japón y en la carrera principal del Gran Premio de China.
