George Russell feels the 25-point gap to Kimi Antonelli in the Formula 1 drivers’ standings after the British Grand Prix “is probably correct” based on performance, but was unsure if the bad luck has been equally spread.
Antonelli suffered a broken wheel shield in the closing stages of the Silverstone race while he was running in second and closing in on eventual winner Charles Leclerc. After pitting twice to rectify the issue Antonelli came out in 10th, but picked up a five-second penalty for multiple track limit breaches while battling the handling issue caused by the breakage.
