Kimi Antonelli expressed his frustration with his performance at the Formula 1 São Paulo Grand Prix, where he spun while leading and squandered a potential victory.
The Italian started from second on the grid and as soon as the lights went out, he took the lead from Lando Norris. However, as the laps wore on, his performance was hindered by a problem with the W17, and with the conditions worsening, he could not maintain the top position.
In the end, Antonelli crossed the finish line in fifth place, behind his teammate George Russell, who also had problems and who spun on the exit from the pits. “I am very disappointed with the race, and to be honest, I am very upset. But I will set that aside for now, because the team clinched the title, and they deserve it,” he told the press, including the F1MANIA.NET.
“Speaking of the race, it is very disappointing, since we were in the fight for the victory. As soon as I managed to bring temperature to the slick tires, I started to find the pace. But the spin happened, something I need to analyze, because I don’t know why I lost the rear so quickly; there was no warning, nothing,” he continued.
“To be honest, when I put on the soft tires, I felt something strange in the car. We need to check what happened, but it’s a shame, because we lost the race there,” he added.
