安东内利自嘲在巴库大奖赛“开车像奶奶”
安东内利在阿塞拜疆大奖赛排位赛撞墙后从第16位发车，最终追回至第五名，他解释自己采取了谨慎的策略。
基米·安东内利：我在巴库的F1比赛中“开得像我奶奶一样”
基米·安东内利解释了他从第16位追到第5位、完成F1阿塞拜疆大奖赛回升过程中所采取的谨慎策略
如果说基米·安东内利在蒙扎那场惊人的逆袭夺冠是一场载入史册的车手表现，那么他在巴库街道赛道上那次低调得多的表现，就只是他刚刚起步的职业生涯中的一个小注脚。
在排位赛中蹭到护墙之后，安东内利面临着三个周末内的第二场从发车区第16位起步的追赶之战。虽然这条6公里长的巴库城市赛道确实比F1上一站马德里赛道提供了更多的超车机会，但安东内利很清楚，重演他在蒙扎的英雄壮举往好了说是难度极大，往坏了说根本是不可能实现的目标。
在这条充满陷阱、风力不小的街道赛道上，安东内利采取了谨慎的驾驶方式，逐步超越中游车手，等到第31圈（全场51圈）亚历克斯·阿尔本引发安全车时，他已经上升到了第八位。
在已经从兰多·诺里斯在一号弯冲出赛道中获益之后，这次安全车让车阵重新聚拢，给安东内利的追赶之旅又一次急需的助力。随后弗兰科·科拉平托撞掉了诺里斯和他的队友皮埃尔·加斯利，而这名20岁的梅赛德斯车手不知怎么竟从这场混乱中全身而退，得到了进一步的帮助。
这为他挑战法拉利的刘易斯·汉密尔顿打开了大门，安东内利以第五名冲线，在艰难的一个周末之后，成功完成了一轮止损。
赛后，安东内利坦言，为了缩小与获胜队友拉塞尔之间的积分差距，他当时开得就像他的意大利'奶奶'一样慢。
"我今天开得有点像我祖母，完全是保车模式," 安东内利解释道。"你知道，我就是没冒险。在做动作之前，我都会先确保自己能够完成这个动作。"

虽然安东内利在重启时确实躲开了科拉平托的混战，但他被哈斯车手奥利弗·贝尔曼撞到，导致左侧底板边缘受损。
"重启之后，我的底板受损严重," 安东内利详述道。"碰撞之后我整个左侧都报废了。所以在那之后，这辆车开起来非常不稳定。我仍然尝试争取第四名，但总的来说，这就是那种你必须满足于第五名的日子。"
"我看到阿尔派那边锁死了，我立刻收了回来。我本来准备走换线超车的路线，但显然我没料到奥利会这么快从内侧冲上来。我能侥幸躲过去算是运气好，但运气没好到能避免这么大的损伤。"
在这个不太顺利的周末里，安东内利在练习中遭遇液压系统漏油，又在排位赛中撞车，他对自己们表现感到失望。正是这种缺乏速度和节奏的状态，促使他在比赛中采取了更谨慎的策略。
"如果我有和蒙扎或之前几场比赛一样的速度，情况就会不一样了，"他解释道，"那就会是全力进攻。但今天我很早就意识到，首先，当一长串赛车全都处于超车模式时，超车要困难得多。而且我的速度也不如之前了。"
"心态很快就变了。而且看到这么多人犯错，你也会稍微收一点。因为今天我就是利用了其他所有人的失误，才向前推进的。"
得益于他 回升至第五名的完赛成绩，安东内利将积分损失限制在与拉塞尔相差15分。随着F1前往马来西亚，安东内利以66分的健康优势领先积分榜离开巴库。

Kimi Antonelli "driving like my grandmother" in Baku F1 race
Kimi Antonelli explains his cautious approach as he recovered from 16th to fifth in Formula 1's Azerbaijan Grand Prix
If Kimi Antonelli's sensational Monza comeback win was a drive for the ages, then his much more subdued encore in the streets of Baku was just a footnote in his fledgling career.
After tagging the wall in qualifying, Antonelli was facing his second comeback race in three weekends from 16th on the grid. But while the 6km Baku City Circuit certainly offered more passing opportunities than F1's previous stop in Madrid, Antonelli was aware a repeat of his Monza heroics was always going to be a tall order at best, and an impossible goal at worst.
On the tricky and windy street circuit, which was laced with pitfalls, Antonelli employed a cautious approach as he gradually picked off midfielders to move up to eighth by the time Alex Albon caused a safety car on lap 31 of 51.
Having already benefitted from Lando Norris' off in Turn 1, the neutralisation gave Antonelli's recovery drive another much-needed shot in the arm as it brought the field together, and the 20-year-old received further assistance when Franco Colapinto took out Norris and team-mate Pierre Gasly and the Mercedes driver somehow managed to escape the carnage.
That opened the door for a challenge on Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton as Antonelli crossed the line in fifth, completing a successful round of damage limitation after a tricky weekend.
Afterwards, Antonelli conceded he was driving like his Italian 'nonna' as he tried to reduce the points loss to winning team-mate George Russell.
"I was driving a bit like my grandmother today, just damage save mode," Antonelli explained. "You know, I just didn't take a risk. Before making a move, I was making sure that I could go for it."

While Antonelli did manage to avoid Colapinto's melee at the restart, he was swiped by Haas driver Oliver Bearman which caused damage to the left-hand side floor edge.
"After the restart, I had big floor damage," Antonelli detailed. "My whole left side was gone with the contact. So after that, the car was very sketchy to drive. I still tried to get to fourth, but all in all, it's one of those days where you have to be happy with fifth.
"I saw the Alpine locking up and I pulled back immediately. I was getting ready to do the switchback, but then obviously I didn't see Ollie coming so quickly on the inside. I was lucky to get away with it, but not so lucky to come away with such a big [amount of] damage."
Following a disrupted weekend with a hydraulic leak in practice and a crash in qualifying, Antonelli was left disappointed with his own performance. It's that lack of pace and rhythm that instructed his more cautious approach to the race.
"If I had the same pace as at Monza or in previous races, it would have been different," he explained. "It would have been just full attack. But today I realised very early that, first of all, it was a lot harder to overtake with a train of cars all in overtake mode. And then I didn't have the same pace as I had previously.
"The mindset changed very quickly. And also seeing so many people making mistakes, you kind of pull back a little bit. Because today I just took advantage of everyone else's mistakes and just moved forward."
Having limited his points loss to Russell to 15 points courtesy of his recovery to fifth, Antonelli leaves Baku with a healthy 66-point lead in the standings as F1 heads to Malaysia.
