Montoya comments on the fight at Mercedes Juan Pablo Montoya continues in his moment of great protagonism in the role of commentator and commentator on Formula 1. Thus, after having argued for a while with Max Verstappen (waiting, who knows, for new episodes) the 50-year-old former Colombian driver also expressed to the TalkSPORT BET betting site his considerations on the particularly favorable moment of Andrea Kimi Antonelli and on the fact that, in his opinion, his teammate George Russell would be facing the season as the current favorite with a little too much… fear of failure.

It is also true that luck was in his favour… In China it went well for him, in Japan he was faster than George Russell, but he still benefited from the Safety Car while in Miami he did a fantastic job and deserved it but, in a certain sense, I think that McLaren has that victory was thrown away. Remember that Lando was in the lead with over two seconds of advantage? They remained on the track, Antonelli made the pit stop and took first position”. “Everything went in his favor”, explains the Colombian, even if it is not too clear that the withdrawal of the Mercedes number 63 is a point so much in favor of the young Italian, at least on a psychological level. “Look at the other side of the garage instead, with George who – he adds – did an excellent job in Australia and won, but he should have won in China too. Not in Japan, while in Miami he wasn’t even on his teammate’s pace, but he hated that track and struggled. Perhaps he could have won this weekend in Montreal if it hadn’t been for the failure of his power unit. I think at this point the tally should have been three victories for George and two for Kimi.” …but also better equipped Juan Pablo Montoya then continued, pointing the finger at Russell’s attitude: “I think Kimi might be better suited to win the championship because he’s more bold about it. He’s not like George, who’s been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. And part of him is definitely thinking ‘What have I done wrong to the universe to deserve all this shit?’. From that point of view I think Kimi Antonelli is in a better situation. But, in five weekends, when we get to Silverstone, it will be interesting to see where they are at. I think a lot of the next races will be really good for George, but he will really have to make the most of this situation.”
