Antonelli offers verdict on Russell incident in Canada Sprint

Mercedes drivers Kimi Antonelli and George Russell engaged in a fierce battle during the Canadian Grand Prix Sprint, with Russell ultimately taking the win after the pair touched on the exit of Turn 1. Antonelli, who initially felt he was pushed off track during the move, admitted he needs to review the incident but acknowledged that his subsequent mistake at Turn 8, where he locked up and bounced through the grass, compromised his own race. Despite the frustration, Antonelli finished third behind Russell and Lando Norris. The 19-year-old emphasized the excitement of the duel and confirmed that he has already shifted his focus toward maximizing his performance in Qualifying for Sunday's main event.
