'If Team Asks, I Will Do': Antonelli On Helping Teammate And Title Rival Russell After Grid Penalty
Sunday Grand Prix: Mercedes driver and F1 2026 title leader Kimi Antonelli on Thursday acknowledged that he will help teammate and title rival George Russell at the Monza GP qualifying if the team asks him to do so.
Italian driver Antonelli has been hit with a grid penalty for engine allocation and will start the Sunday Grand Prix at his home at the back of the grid. With him starting the race at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza from 22nd, his qualification results won't matter for the Sunday main event.
Due to this, the current F1 title leader has admitted that he will support his teammate and rival Russell by providing tow for the Saturday qualifying session to help the British driver achieve a higher grid spot.
