The Bolognese happy with the triumph in Canada: “It wasn’t an easy race because of the wind. George was fast, I’ll take this victory, but we have to continue because Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren are reacting”
Kimi Antonelli is obviously beaming after the triumph in Canada. As soon as he crossed the finish line he talked about the difficulties of the race and in particular the duel with George Russell, which was resolved in his favor also thanks to a technical problem that put his teammate out of action.
what a fight

“I have to say that it was a very fun battle and it wasn’t easy because of the wind – said the Bolognese – it was a shame that George had a breakdown because we would have fought until the end, but we’ll take this victory and move on. When I was alone I tried to manage the tyres”. “We will continue to raise the bar, because Russell was very fast this weekend. Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren are reacting, we will see that we arrive ready in Monaco too” concluded the Italian.

Then to Sky’s microphones, Kimi further described his race like this: “I didn’t want to win like this – he said – a shame for George, it would have been very difficult even if I had a little more pace. But I made a mistake in 10th, I had a lock-up that put me in difficulty, it wasn’t ideal, we were close. Certainly throughout the weekend I had the feeling of being strong, here he had always made the difference, having won is certainly a good sign. But I don’t feel like I rode as well as I did In Miami it went well in the end and now I have to think about Munich.” Then a mention of the emotions of the race: “Today I was much calmer even if there were some borderline episodes, I certainly waited longer and tried to induce him to make mistakes. But I made some mistakes and I have to make sure they don’t happen again.”
