基米·安东内利的赛车工程师彼得'Bono'邦宁顿透露，一场'非常严肃的谈话'帮助这位意大利车手扭转了他在一年前的新秀一级方程式赛季，那一年他成为了2026年的世界冠军。
安东内利在上周末的墨西哥大奖赛中获得了第三名，这足以确保他获得首个冠军头衔。在比赛后接受F1电视采访时，邦宁顿回顾了安东内利如何克服了2025年在梅赛德斯车队艰难的首个赛季，并在2026年占据主导地位。
‘那是我们真正受益的令人惊叹的事情或经历之一，因为事实是，你从你的糟糕日子里学习，这正是他擅长做的事情，就是学习，’邦宁顿在谈到安东内利在2025年欧洲赛季中的困难时期时解释道。
‘我们在欧洲赛季结束时进行了一场非常严肃的谈话。然后我们又进入了飞越赛段，突然间他就像说，‘你为什么没有早点给我一个屁股踢？’是的，那是一段艰难的时光，但是什么让你活下去，就让你变得更强大，他确实从那些困难中反弹回来。’
尽管他的队友乔治·拉塞尔在2026赛季被视为夺冠热门，安东内利在第三轮赛事中，凭借在中日大奖赛连续夺冠，成功领跑车手积分榜。
尽管许多人认为压力会压垮他，这位20岁的年轻人却越战越勇。本赛季他已赢得了九场大奖赛。
曾与七次世界冠军刘易斯·汉密尔顿和迈克尔·舒马赫共事的邦宁顿表示，管理车手是他工作的一部分，就像管理赛车一样。
“人们以前常说，尤其是以前，‘你们为什么没有让体育心理学家与车手一起工作？’而你可能会想，嗯，那不正是赛车工程师的工作吗。工作的一半是照顾赛车，另一半是让车手保持开心。”
“是啊，他是个很容易让人高兴的人。和他一起工作是一种乐趣，同时也要引导他度过其中的起伏，尤其是去年。这只是工作的一部分。有些人在这方面比其他人做得更好。”

Peter Bonnington reveals "stern conversation" that transformed Kimi Antonelli's F1 career
Kimi Antonelli's race engineer Peter Bonnington has revealed how a stern conversation helped the Italian overcome a difficult rookie season

For Mercedes fans. All the latest from the Silver Arrows, with F1 news, driver updates, car development and race analysis from Brackley and Brixworth.
Kimi Antonelli's race engineer Peter 'Bono' Bonnington has revealed that a "really stern conversation" helped turn around the Italian driver's rookie Formula 1 season, a year before he became the 2026 world champion.
Antonelli finished third at last weekend's Mexican Grand Prix, which was enough to secure his maiden title. While speaking to F1 TV after the race, Bonnington reflected on how Antonelli overcame a challenging debut season with Mercedes in 2025 to dominate in 2026.
"That’s one of the amazing things or amazing experiences that we actually benefited from, because the fact is that you learn from your bad days and that’s what he’s really good at doing, is just learning," Bonnington explained of Antonelli's difficult spell during the European season in 2025.
"We had a really stern conversation at the end of the European season. And then we got into the flyaways again and all of a sudden he was just like, ‘Why didn’t you give me a kick up the arse sooner?’ And so, yeah, it was tough times, but what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and he really did bounce back from those."
While his team-mate George Russell entered the 2026 season as a clear favourite for the title, Antonelli took the lead of the championship at the third round after back-to-back wins at the Chinese and Japanese Grands Prix.
Despite many assuming the title pressure would get the better of him, the 20-year-old went from strength to strength. He has won nine grands prix so far this season.
Bonnington, who has previously worked with seven-time champions Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher, said managing a driver was as much a part of his role as managing the car.
"People have said before, especially back in the day, 'Why don’t you have a sports psychologist working with drivers?' and you’re like, well, that’s kind of what the race engineer has to do. Half of the job is looking after the car, the other half is keeping the driver happy.
"So yeah, he’s an easy guy to keep happy. It’s a pleasure working with him, but also guiding him through the ups and downs of it, especially last year. It’s just part of the job. Some are better at it than others."
