Kimi Antonelli: I am looking forward to the continuation.

      Kimi Antonelli is satisfied with how the first part of the season went and is looking forward to the continuation...

      Question: Kimi, if you had started from a higher position, would you have been able to fight Lando for the win?

      Kimi Antonelli: I don't know. Of course, if I had started third, everything would have been different. But I think Lando had the advantage this weekend, even over us.

      In terms of pure pace, I don't think I would have been able to compete with him, especially considering how difficult it was to follow due to severe tire overheating. It would have been extremely challenging.

      Otherwise, the team did an excellent job. As for the strategy, we initially decided to take a risk with a single tire change, but then we changed our minds when doubts about safety arose. But in the end, the team created conditions for me to fight for the podium. Great teamwork!

      Question: Nine podiums in 11 races. Have these results exceeded your preseason expectations?

      Kimi Antonelli: Of course. I didn't expect anything like this. But we have a great car, the team is doing an excellent job, and I am doing my best to make the most of every opportunity. Of course, there is still a lot of work ahead, and I have much to learn, but the first half of the season went well. Now I am looking forward to the continuation.

      Question: The next race will take place in Zandvoort and will likely be the last at this track. How special will this weekend be for you?

      Kimi Antonelli: It's a great track, it's fun to race there, although I didn't have a good experience last year. But from a purely racing perspective, it's an incredible track, especially in qualifying.

      It's a pity that there will be no more races there. The fans in Zandvoort are very emotional, very passionate, and they cheer very loudly. It's nice to see. So, of course, it's very sad, but there's nothing we can do about it.
