Antonelli lost to Russell in Austrian Qualifying With Barcelona’s 18-0 score and an assist from the race management in qualifying at the Red Bull Ring, George Russell regained much of what fate had robbed him of in the first races. Today the #63 was the driver in the right spot at the right time: he was so far away from the crash that Max Verstappen would have to call off the decisive lap, but not so far that he did not fall into the double yellow flag regime (triggered a few seconds after his passage). So Russell was content to put his foot down long enough with a single yellow flag, mock Kimi Antonelli and the Ferraris, and snatch the most controversial pole position of his career. All experiences for Bolognese. It is Antonelli himself who uses these words to describe Saturday. In any case, it is a day that does not affect the weekend. Starting from fourth place, nothing is lost for the championship leader. “I made a mistake. I don’t know why, but I thought there was a double yellow flag, so I interrupted the lap. Instead there was a single yellow flag. It’s a shame, but it’s experience,” are Antonelli’s words to Sky Sport F1. “I’m angry at myself because unfortunately I made a mistake in judgment that cost me the front row.” “Tomorrow, it will not be easy to start from 4th place behind the two Ferraris. But we have good pace and due to the settings we decided to choose a direction more suitable for the race. But I was not very good in the second part of qualifying,” he concluded.
