Lamonato praises Antonelli’s mature winning drive

In his Monday Morning Debrief, Formula 1 contributor Michael Lamonato calls Kimi Antonelli’s first victory since Madrid in September a mature, technically astute performance. Antonelli turned pole into the lead at the start and managed the gap to his pursuers through the opening laps, Lamonato writes.

Lamonato also highlights Antonelli’s tyre management: over two long stints, he got the most from the Pirelli rubber without risking runaway degradation. The performance, Lamonato writes, belied Antonelli’s inexperience in Formula 1.
