David Croft: campanello d'allarme per George Russell se dovesse perdere il confronto con Kimi Antonelli

Il commentatore di Sky Sports David Croft ritiene che il pilota della Mercedes George Russell debba superare il compagno di squadra Kimi Antonelli al Gran Premio del Canada per evitare che crescano le preoccupazioni all'interno del team. Antonelli precede attualmente Russell di 20 punti in campionato dopo i recenti ottimi risultati.

Croft ha sottolineato l'avvio di stagione complicato di Russell nel 2026, nonostante la vittoria iniziale in Australia e quella nella sprint in Cina. Il pilota britannico ha dovuto affrontare diversi contrattempi, tra cui problemi in qualifica in Cina, una safety car arrivata nel momento sbagliato in Giappone e un circuito a Miami non adatto al suo stile, che hanno permesso ad Antonelli di ottenere vittorie sia in Florida che in Giappone e nella gara principale del Gran Premio di Cina.
