🚨| Antonelli Discusses Mercedes, Ferrari, and Future Prospects: — Kimi Antonelli expressed his unwavering commitment to Mercedes, despite acknowledging the allure of Ferrari. Speaking to media, Antonelli remarked: “Ferrari is an immense team, it has a crazy following and a history that will remain forever. But now I'm a Mercedes driver, I'm very happy to be with them. They gave me a great opportunity from an early age, they accompanied me all the way and I feel the duty to do my best for this team.” “I am indebted to them and I want to win as much as possible with Mercedes, then in the future we'll see.” — Discussing the internal competition with teammate George Russell, Antonelli highlighted the importance of managing their rivalry carefully: “The main secret to winning a world championship is consistency, maximizing the result every weekend and running aggressively but intelligently.” “George and I are in a great position to fight for something important, but we don't want to ruin the beautiful dynamic that exists in the garage. We will race hard against each other, we will be fierce, but correctly and without contact. Mercedes must win.” — On the topic of Ferrari's potential with the ADUO, Antonelli noted: “At the chassis level, they are doing well, they seem to suffer a bit where there is a lot of degradation, but if they can develop the engine they will get closer, even if it is not easy to find more power.” — He also clarified the strengths of Mercedes beyond just the engine: “Ferrari is in good shape and Mercedes we only talk about the engine, but we also go strong in curves and we manage the tires well. Even our frame is fantastic.” — Antonelli shared insights into his relationship with Max Verstappen, highlighting their shared passion for motorsport: “We both have a great passion for 360° motorsport. In Montreal we talked about the virtual 24 hour. Then let's talk about our lives, about race weekends, about cars, not just about F1. It's always very pleasant to talk to him.” #kimiantonelli 🇮🇹 #mercedesamgf1 🇩🇪 VIA: [@Auto_Racer_IT]
