Kimi Antonelli

ANALYSIS
Antonelli had a very strong qualifying session to set the tone for the rest of his weekend. He finished Q3 just under one-tenth of a second off the pace of Mercedes teammate George Russell to start sixth on the grid. Despite finishing in the same position, Antonelli had an eventful race day, consistently involved in a battle with both Russell and Oscar Piastri. He ultimately got the better of Russell with a late-race position swap to finish in the points for the fourth time in his last five grand prix.
