乔治·拉塞尔因坦承基米·安东内利在F1中的表现更佳而受到赞扬
大卫·库特哈德赞扬乔治·拉塞尔公开承认梅赛德斯队友基米·安东内利目前表现优于自己，而2026年的冠军希望正逐渐渺茫。
前F1车手大卫·库特哈德赞扬乔治·拉塞尔承认其梅赛德斯队友、当前积分榜领先者基米·安东内利做得更好。
安东内利在新马德里赛道举行的首届西班牙大奖赛上赢得本赛季第八场胜利，将积分榜领先优势扩大至81分，拉塞尔位居第二。与此同时，拉塞尔仅以第五名完赛。
这位英国车手在赛季揭幕的澳大利亚大奖赛上曾是夺冠热门之一。但在墨尔本夺冠以及随后在中国冲刺赛获胜后，他眼睁睁看着自己的冠军希望随着安东内利一场接一场的胜利而溜走。
在Up To Speed播客节目中，13次大奖赛冠军得主库特哈德赞扬拉塞尔在媒体采访中坦诚面对队友目前比自己表现更好的事实。
“我认为我们看到的只是，就像今年的规则更有利于刘易斯[汉密尔顿]相对于查尔斯[勒克莱尔]一样，他们的表现从去年到今年出现了波动，”他说。
“奥斯卡[皮亚斯特里]相对于兰多[诺里斯]状态下滑，而去年直到巴库他还在领跑世界冠军积分榜。所以，这就是这套规则的起伏。”
“基米状态火热，而乔治陷入困境。但公平地说，我认为乔治已经接受了这一点。他直面媒体，回答问题。”
“周末他与马丁·布伦德尔做了一次采访，他说，‘看，基米现在就是比我做得更好。’我认为能公开承认这一点的人很了不起。”
“我们都会这么想，但有时赛车手会把头埋进沙子里，一个接一个地找借口。但我相信乔治。我为他感到难过。这是一个正在溜走的冠军，但他在职业生涯中还足够年轻，会有属于他的时刻。”

George Russell praised for honest admission about Kimi Antonelli's F1 form
David Coulthard has praised George Russell for publicly admitting that Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli is currently outperforming him as the 2026 title slips away
Former Formula 1 driver David Coulthard has praised George Russell for admitting that his Mercedes team-mate and current championship leader Kimi Antonelli is doing a better job.
Antonelli secured his eighth victory of the season at the inaugural Spanish Grand Prix at the new Madring circuit, extending his lead in the standings to 81 points over Russell, who sits second. Russell, meanwhile, salvaged a fifth-place finish.
The British driver arrived at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix as one of the favourites for the title. But after winning in Melbourne and the subsequent sprint race in China, he watched his title hopes slip away as Antonelli claimed win after win.
Speaking on the Up To Speed podcast, 13-time grand prix winner Coulthard commended Russell for being honest in media sessions about the fact that his team-mate is currently doing a better job than he is.
"I think what we're just seeing is, in the same way that this year's formula has suited Lewis [Hamilton] more relative to Charles [Leclerc], there's been a swing in their performance from last year to this year," he said.
"Oscar [Piastri] has dropped off form relative to Lando [Norris], where he was leading the world championship up until Baku last year. So, it's swings and roundabouts of this formula.
"We've got Kimi coming alive and George is on the ropes. But in fairness to George, I think he's come to terms with it. He's fronting up to the media. He's answering the questions.
"He did an interview with Martin Brundle over the weekend where he said, 'Look, Kimi is just doing a better job than me right now.' I think that's a big man who can admit that publicly.
"We would all be thinking it, but sometimes racing drivers bury their heads in the sand, and it's just one excuse after another. But I believe in George. I feel for him. It's a championship that's slipping away, but he's still young enough in his career that he'll have his moment."
