4 victories on the trot and now pole at Monaco. Kimi Antonelli is the real deal. Especially considering he is leaving veteran George Russell in the dust. And he is just 19. Incredible!

No Imola GP this season, Kimi doesn't even get to win on his home track.

I'm pissed, I keep waiting for the Lance Stroll world domination tour to begin.

Some are thinking Russell is being sabotaged by Toto, that's a very wild theory but a tough one to believe.
Imagine the tension in the Mercedes meetings now?

I don’t think George is being sabotaged but Kimi has been to in his head in a major way by now.
Russell spends 3 years at Williams then 2 years as Hamiltons #2 then when it’s his time to lead the team a teenager comes in and takes the lead in his second year.

George Russell 6 feet 1". Kimi Antonelli is 5 feet 7.5". For reference, Lewis Hamilton is 5 feet 8.5". In a sport where victory is by micro-seconds, is it possible George Russell is hampered by his height?

Nope... he's just not as good a driver as Kimi. He's more of a "steady-Eddie" but never pushes it to the limit. Kimi's got a fire that George doesn't. George has an over-inflated sense of entitlement.

Okay

Looks like Monaco is becoming a shitshow, it's too lucrative to discard.

Kimi's bel paese.

Max is 5'11, so no.
