How Kimi Antonelli Compares With His Teammates
George Russell has been Antonelli's only Formula 1 teammate. Their first season together was one-sided, with Russell ahead 21-3 in both qualifying and races and 4th in the standings to Antonelli's 7th. Antonelli has had the upper hand in 2026, a full turnaround from his rookie year, and with no other teammate to compare against, that swing is the clearest measure of his progress.
