Antonelli eager to ‘re-establish order’ as F1 returns to Malaysia
Race leader Kimi Antonelli finished fifth in Azerbaijan last weekend, beaten by Mercedes teammate George Russell for the first time in six races.
Kimi Antonelli, Italy's aspiring champion since Alberto Ascari in 1953, expressed his determination to restore order and re-establish his dominance in the Formula One drivers' championship as the sport returns to Malaysia. Sepang will host the race that was supposed to take place in Bahrain but was cancelled due to the ongoing war in the Middle East.
Antonelli, who leads Mercedes teammate George Russell by 66 points, crashed during qualifying and started 16th at the grid, losing the first race of six to Russell. Despite his recent setback, Antonelli remains confident and aims to return to his usual level at the Sepang International Circuit, where Formula One last raced in 2017.
Russell emphasized his intent to secure victories in the remaining eight races, emphasizing his competitive nature. Ferrari, McLaren, and Red Bull are also expected to pose significant challenges at Sepang, with each team vying for every remaining point.
