George Russell se enfrenta a una prueba psicológica ante Kimi Antonelli

El ex piloto de Fórmula 1 David Coulthard afirma que el próximo Gran Premio de Canadá será un momento psicológico clave para George Russell, quien se encuentra a 20 puntos de su compañero de equipo Kimi Antonelli en el campeonato.

Coulthard hizo estos comentarios en el podcast Up To Speed. Señaló que Russell ha tenido un buen rendimiento en el circuito de Montreal en el pasado, pero que llegó a la carrera de Miami con una mentalidad negativa que resultó difícil de superar. Antonelli, el piloto de Mercedes de 19 años, ha conseguido tres victorias consecutivas en China, Japón y Miami, ampliando su ventaja tras solo cuatro carreras de la temporada.
