Antonelli: No Hamilton-Rosberg Repeat with Russell

The Italian driver made the comments while collecting the prestigious Lorenzo Bandini Trophy in Brisighella. Antonelli emphasized that he and Russell understand the importance of maintaining a positive team environment despite their on-track competition.

Mercedes has reportedly given both drivers the green light to race each other, a policy reminiscent of the team's approach during Hamilton and Rosberg's championship battles. However, Antonelli was keen to distance himself from the acrimonious nature of that famous rivalry, suggesting he and Russell will keep their competition sportsmanlike. afrikasportnews.co.za
