Steiner predicts at least five F1 titles for Antonelli

Guenther Steiner expects Kimi Antonelli to win more Formula 1 titles than Sebastian Vettel, who won four consecutive championships with Red Bull from 2010 to 2013. Asked on The Red Flags Podcast whether Antonelli would win more than four titles, the former Haas team principal answered yes.

Steiner also compared their talent: he described Vettel as very good but not an exceptional talent like Max Verstappen, and said he believes Antonelli will be one. He added that Vettel had been at the right time and place.

Antonelli, 20, is in his second F1 season and has won nine grands prix. Back-to-back wins in China and Japan put him into the championship lead; he now has 365 points, ahead of Mercedes team-mate George Russell on 242. A top-nine finish at this weekend's Mexican Grand Prix would secure Antonelli's maiden title and make him F1's youngest champion, breaking Vettel's record set in 2010.
