George Russell, Kimi Antonelli and Trackside Engineering Director Andrew Shovlin give their comments on the 2026 Japanese GP FP1&2.
Toto Wolff explains why Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg’s rivalry turned so ugly, and why that won’t happen with George Russell and Kimi Antonelli.
After Kimi Antonelli’s first race win, Toto Wolff says Mercedes has “a car that is capable of winning” and both of their drivers “have equal opportunity” to fight for the title.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff says he can “kind of see the hype that is going to start now” around Kimi Antonelli, “especially in Italy”.
Kimi Antonelli says sharing the podium with Lewis Hamilton, George Russell and his race engineer Bono, was “a very special moment for all of us”.
George Russell says if Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Antonelli and himself “could all choose who we’d share the podium with, [it would be] probably with each other”.
Lewis Hamilton says sharing the Chinese GP podium with Kimi Antonelli, George Russell and Peter Bonnington – Bono, was “like sitting here with my whole family”.
Lewis Hamilton says “it’s amazing to see” Kimi Antonelli get his first F1 victory, and says he ‘truly deserves to get to the top’.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff reveals he had to instruct Kimi Antonelli’s race engineer Peter Bonnington – Bono to “calm him down”.
