David Croft estime que George Russell devra faire ses preuves face à Kimi Antonelli

Le commentateur de Sky Sports, David Croft, estime que le pilote Mercedes George Russell doit surpasser son coéquipier Kimi Antonelli lors du Grand Prix du Canada pour éviter que les inquiétudes ne grandissent au sein de l'écurie. Antonelli devance actuellement Russell de 20 points au championnat après une récente série de bons résultats.

Croft a souligné le début de saison difficile de Russell en 2026, malgré une victoire précoce en Australie et une victoire lors du sprint en Chine. Le Britannique a rencontré des revers, notamment des problèmes de qualification en Chine, une voiture de sécurité mal tombée au Japon et un circuit à Miami peu adapté à son style, ce qui a permis à Antonelli d'y remporter des victoires, tout comme au Japon et lors de la course principale du Grand Prix de Chine.
