David Croft diz que sinais de alerta soarão se George Russell perder para Kimi Antonelli

O comentarista da Sky Sports, David Croft, acredita que o piloto da Mercedes, George Russell, precisa superar seu companheiro de equipe, Kimi Antonelli, no Grande Prêmio do Canadá para evitar que as preocupações aumentem dentro da equipe. Antonelli atualmente lidera Russell por 20 pontos no campeonato após resultados sólidos recentes.

Croft destacou o início de temporada desafiador de Russell em 2026, apesar de uma vitória precoce na Austrália e um triunfo na corrida sprint na China. O britânico enfrentou contratempos, incluindo problemas na classificação na China, um safety car inoportuno no Japão e um circuito em Miami que não se adaptou ao seu estilo, permitindo que Antonelli garantisse vitórias lá, além do Japão e da corrida principal do Grande Prêmio da China.
