Antonelli already crushes, but looks for more: “I want to continue pushing each race”

Kimi Antonelli takes him out 81 points advantage in the World Cup George Russellwhich is second. This distance would have him winning the championship in Brazil, with 3 races to spare, at the height of the most dominant seasons of Lewis Hamilton. Despite this, it seems that he does not plan to take out the calculator at any time during the season for anything other than counting his victories. “I want to keep pushing each race. Performing and enjoying all the way, I want to do my best in each race and see where that leaves us at the end of the season,” he explains to the F1 microphones.

Eight wins in 14 races this season. Antonelli seems to be on track to enter the record of drivers with the most victories in a season, if he maintains the ratio, he would sneak into fifth position in this ranking with 12.

It has thus become the first winner at Madringand although it is a circuit that has polarized the drivers, Antonelli seems to be in its favor, since he has said that he is “Looking forward to coming back here next year”.

He did not start as the favorite, since overtaking on this track is highly complicated, but the problems of Lando Norris managed to manage correctly behind Charles Leclerc to take the victory when the Monegasque stopped in the pits. “It has been a very complicated race, it has not been easy at all, especially the time to manage tires.”

The Italian does not hide the fact that, without the virtual safety car and Norris’ slow stopit is very likely that today he would not have been able to climb to the top of the podium. “Today it’s good to win, but not so much because I think Lando deserved the victory. Even so, we took the victory.”

With nine races remainingassuming none are canceled or replaced, the question doesn’t seem to be if he will be champion, but when he will be. With this advantage, the answer would be in Brazil.
