I don't care about the state of my tires.
I am just going for it.
And if we would have to pinpoint a couple of races this year that are the making of him, the Montreal sprint race and the main race, the fact that he just kept on coming, it was like a frenzy.
And the fact that he fought so hard for a single point at Silverstone.
He did himself, unbeknownst to him, so many favors within the Mercedes team by being the way he was at that point.
Not bemoaning the fact that he had issues.
He refused to give up.
And I spoke to a few mechanics and people within the team afterwards.
they're all Kimi converts now.
And that makes that position that George has within the team a little bit more difficult.
Because you hear on the onboard radio, you hear Toto sniping at George within qualifying sessions.
Just drive, don't moan so much.
And on the other hand, you've got this bouncy young kid that refuses to give up even for a single point.
This is mentally a difficult position for Russell to be in if you're not automatically the quicker of the two.
And he's fighting someone who's bound to get better.
That is also a very interesting dynamic there.
And who has time on his side.
And I just think this relationship that Bono and Antonelli have, Peter Bonington is engineer and Antonelli is super healthy for the challenges that Antonelli will face over the next few months.
If Antonelli pulls this one out of the bag and he actually gets this title, you can also credit it to that relationship.
But there's a lot of racing still to come and it could go south very quickly as well.
