George Russell enfrenta teste psicológico diante de Kimi Antonelli

O ex-piloto de Fórmula 1 David Coulthard afirma que o próximo Grande Prêmio do Canadá será um momento psicológico crucial para George Russell, que está 20 pontos atrás de seu companheiro de equipe Kimi Antonelli no campeonato.

Coulthard fez os comentários no podcast Up To Speed. Ele observou que Russell teve um bom desempenho na pista de Montreal no passado, mas chegou à corrida de Miami com uma mentalidade negativa que se mostrou difícil de superar. Antonelli, o piloto da Mercedes de 19 anos, conquistou três vitórias consecutivas na China, no Japão e em Miami, ampliando sua liderança após apenas quatro corridas na temporada.
