Russell cuts Antonelli and revives the duel in Mercedes
The Briton reduces the deficit to 40 points while the errors of the Italian and the W17 decide the championship.
George Russell has turned the F1 Drivers' Championship into an internal battle at Mercedes, cutting Kimi Antonelli's lead to just 40 points after a run of consecutive podium finishes. The Silverstone team has shown absolute dominance with seven victories in the eight races held so far, consolidating the W17 as the car to beat. However, Russell's reliability contrasts with Antonelli's recent mistakes, allowing the Briton to recover 28 points in just two weekends of competition.
