George Russell di fronte alla prova psicologica di Kimi Antonelli

L'ex pilota di Formula 1 David Coulthard afferma che il prossimo Gran Premio del Canada rappresenterà un momento psicologico cruciale per George Russell, che insegue il compagno di squadra Kimi Antonelli con un distacco di 20 punti in campionato.

Coulthard ha rilasciato queste dichiarazioni nel podcast Up To Speed. Ha sottolineato che Russell ha ottenuto buone prestazioni sul circuito di Montreal in passato, ma si è presentato alla gara di Miami con un atteggiamento negativo rivelatosi difficile da superare. Antonelli, il diciannovenne pilota Mercedes, ha ottenuto tre vittorie consecutive in Cina, Giappone e Miami, incrementando il suo vantaggio dopo sole quattro gare di stagione.
