David Croft看好安东内利成为比维斯塔潘更年轻的一级方程式世界冠军
天空体育F1首席评论员David Croft看好梅赛德斯车手安东内利，认为他有望成为比维斯塔潘更年轻的世界冠军。
Antonelli在上周末的意大利大奖赛中奉献了一场不可思议的表现，从发车格第19位一路驾驶至主场观众面前夺冠。
这位20岁的车手成为60年来首位在蒙扎夺冠的本土车手，在本周末西班牙大奖赛前，他将对队友拉塞尔的积分领先优势扩大至66分。
在天空体育F1节目中，Croft将Antonelli当前的成长轨迹与Verstappen进行了比较，后者17岁完成F1首秀，18岁赢得首场比赛，24岁赢得首个世界冠军。
“12个月前他还在蒙扎，刚刚走出一个非常艰难的时期，从加拿大登上领奖台之后，事情开始出错，他并不开心，”Croft解释道。“他和Bono（Peter Bonnington）非常努力地试图纠正问题，然后在赛季末迎来了一段非常好的表现。”
“几乎可以说，他在经验比Max更少的情况下成长。Max在红牛车队之前，在红牛二队积累了一个赛季再加几场比赛的经验。”
“他比Max更早完成这些成就。他将成为比Max更年轻的世界冠军。他是更年轻的杆位得主。他是更年轻的分站冠军。他确实非常非常早地完成了一切，并在此过程中展现出极大的成熟。”

“今年我在赛道上看到和听到了一些迹象，他在控制自己的情绪。他正在冷静下来。他把12个月前可能会让他失控的事情控制住了。”
“这就是为什么人们说这个人是世代级天才，因为拥有能力是一回事，拥有受控的能力并在一个我们三个人都同意自己绝对做不到安东内利如今所做之事的年纪开始变得非常成熟，是另一回事。”
Antonelli在中国和日本大奖赛背靠背夺冠后领跑积分榜。他在夏休前又赢得四场比赛，意大利站的胜利是他第七个F1分站冠军。
Sebastian Vettel成为F1历史上最年轻的世界冠军，2010年他以23岁134天的年龄夺得首个世界冠军。

David Croft hails Kimi Antonelli's maturity as F1 title charge gathers pace
David Croft has backed Kimi Antonelli to become a younger Formula 1 world champion than Max Verstappen
Sky Sports Formula 1 lead commentator David Croft has backed Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli to become a younger world champion than Max Verstappen.
Antonelli delivered an incredible performance at last weekend's Italian Grand Prix, driving from 19th on the grid to victory in front of his home crowd.
The 20-year-old became the first home driver to win at Monza in 60 years, extending his championship lead over his team-mate George Russell to 66 points ahead of this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix.
During an appearance on the Sky Sports F1 Show, Croft compared Antonelli's current trajectory to that of Verstappen, who made his F1 debut at 17, won his first race at 18 and his first championship at 24.
"12 months ago he was at Monza and was just coming out of a very difficult period where, from the podium in Canada, things had started to go wrong and he wasn't happy," Croft explained. "He was working really hard with Bono [Peter Bonnington] to try and put things right and then went on a really good run towards the end of the season.
"It's almost like he's growing up with less experience than Max. Max had that experience with Toro Rosso for a season and then a couple of races before he went up to the Red Bull team.
"He's doing things earlier than Max. He's going to be a younger world champion than Max was. He is a younger polesitter. He is a younger grand prix winner. He's getting everything done very, very early indeed and showing a lot of maturity with it.

"I've seen and heard signs on the track this year where he's controlling his emotions. He's calming down. He's keeping a lid on things that might have got the better of him 12 months ago.
"That is why people are saying this man is a generational talent because it's one thing to have an ability, it's another to have that controlled ability and to start being very mature at an age where I think all three of us can agree we certainly wouldn't have been capable of doing anything near what Kimi Antonelli is doing."
Antonelli took the lead of the standings after back-to-back wins in the Chinese and Japanese Grands Prix. He went on to secure four more victories before the summer break and his win in Italy was his seventh F1 win.
Sebastian Vettel became the youngest F1 champion in history, claiming his first title in 2010 at the age of 23 years and 134 days.
