Marco Antonelli: Kimi is still lacking experience.

Marco Antonelli: “This victory is largely due to Toto Wolff, who has been involved in Kimi's career for many years. We tried to do everything possible for our son, but the Mercedes team did an enormous job. I can only express my gratitude.
You know, two years ago in Monza, I asked Toto if Kimi was ready to take a seat in Formula 1 – at that time he was racing in Formula 2. Toto said he was ready. We decided that the moment had come, and soon Toto brought him into the team.
The fight for the title this season? I don’t know. Kimi is still very young, he lacks experience competing at such a high level. Of course, he is a good driver, but experience is very important. Moreover, George Russell is very experienced, defeating him will not be easy.”
