Antonelli Expects Russell Return Favor

After helping George Russell with a tow in Monza qualifying, Kimi Antonelli revealed he expects his team-mate and championship rival to reciprocate the gesture later in the season. The Italian driver had little to gain from his own qualifying result due to a back-of-the-grid penalty, so he effectively spent the session assisting Russell, who ultimately qualified second. tr-sport.click

Mercedes took advantage of the situation, with Antonelli's assistance potentially giving Russell a competitive edge in the race. This strategic move highlights the team-oriented approach despite the competitive nature between the two drivers.
