Kimi Antonelli is being viewed as more than just a teenage novelty by some, according to Naomi Schiff, a Sky Sports Formula 1 analyst. Speaking on the Up To Speed podcast, Schiff said that Antonelli's consistent performances in the championship mean his title charge should no longer be met with surprise.
Antonelli currently leads the drivers' standings with a 50-point advantage over second-placed Lewis Hamilton, according to Yahoo Sports. Schiff noted that Antonelli's body language suggests he doesn't have the same kind of pressure or weight on his shoulders as some other drivers.
Schiff attributed this to Antonelli's age and his relatively short time in Formula 1, now in his second season. She contrasted this with drivers like George, who may be under more pressure to deliver results.
