Kimi Antonelli has emphasized that he and teammate George Russell will not allow their Mercedes intra-team battle to become a repeat of the infamous Lewis Hamilton-Nico Rosberg rivalry. Speaking at a media conference in Brisighella while collecting the Lorenzo Bandini Trophy, the Italian driver confirmed that Mercedes has given both drivers the freedom to race.
The Hamilton-Rosberg rivalry is considered one of the most intense in F1 history, culminating in several on-track incidents between the two teammates. Antonelli's statement suggests he aims for a more respectful competitive environment with Russell as they prepare for their season together. likesport.biz
