Wolff hails Antonelli's best race yet after US victory
AUSTIN: Kimi Antonelli has given his Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff nine wins to get excited about this season but the Italian’s dominant drive from pole position at Sunday’s US Grand Prix took that to another level.
Kimi Antonelli delivered his best race of the season so far with a dominant victory at the US Grand Prix, according to Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff. The 20-year-old secured a comfortable win by over 13 seconds, using a strong one-stop strategy that outperformed his teammate George Russell, who finished eight positions behind. Wolff praised Antonelli's exceptional performance, stating that the young Italian has outperformed his car and is now the most impressive driver in the team.
The victory at Monza, where Antonelli started from the back of the grid, marked a turning point in the championship battle, with Russell now trailing by 123 points with 125 still up for grabs. Despite the strong performance, Antonelli acknowledged the team's collective effort, crediting the strategy and their ability to execute effectively on a track that was relatively easy to overtake.
