George Russell already fears Kimi Antonelli

The words of George Russell

George Russell next year will have Kimi Antonelli as his teammate in Mercedes. “I always thought that with experience you gain a lot over time, in terms of managing the weekend, the tires, the team. But I don’t think I’m faster today on the dry pace than I was when I was 17. You either have speed or you don’t, and Kimi absolutely has it".

"There will be mistakes along the way, as è happened to everyone. Every single driver made mistakes in his first two years, and it will be è more evident for those at the head of the pack, but Kimi è exceptionally fast", he added to F1.com.

"Kimi è exceptionally fast and I have no doubt that next year will keep me on my toes and looking forward to a new challenge. Three years of working with Lewis have been exceptional, but I can’t wait to see what we can do together starting next year", he concluded.
