Antonelli: It took a fight to win the race!
Kimi Antonelli won the Belgian Grand Prix, securing his sixth victory of the season, but after the finish, commenting on the race events, he admitted that the win did not come easily...
Kimi Antonelli (1st): "It's great to be back on the top of the podium after a few challenging races this season. But I had to fight for the win! We lost the lead due to the introduction of the virtual safety car, but then we managed to make a comeback.
It was a tough victory, as Charles Leclerc was driving very fast, and we really had to push to get ahead of Ferrari. We had speed at all stages of the season, but we didn't always manage to achieve the desired results. But speaking about the championship situation, we were a bit lucky today.
That's why we need to try to take advantage of every opportunity, you know? Because we see that the situation can easily change, and the goal is to keep delivering strong results. We'll see what happens at the end of the year. But we'll try to continue in the same vein."
George Russell (retirement): "I lost three positions on the straight before Turn 5, and what happened there was just a racing incident. Maybe I could have taken the corner on a wider line, maybe Lewis could have braked more intensely. But if my car had higher speed on the straight, the crash could have been avoided. So I'm very disappointed.
As for the championship situation, I currently have no words to comment on it. I appreciate the team's efforts to find the reasons for the problems with my car, as I felt I was starting from a good position, and I had a chance to fight for the lead at Turn 1, but first it turned out that the car lacked power, and then I retired from the race..."
