Kimi with a stonker of a lap.

What a lad. Bring on that update in Canada!

[TwanV]

That kid can drive. Bwoah fantastic lap. He will win it this year I'm sure.

[Rootsap]

Awesome lap from Kimi, now let's hope he gets a decent start tomorrow

I had these doubts towards the last quarter of 2025 season, but now in 2026 its been reasonably consistent, and no longer a one-off/lucky-day thing :
Antonelli has started to outskill Russel.

[Rikhart]

What a lap, Antonelli, superb.

Russel is getting a bit trounced ain't he...

[Darth-Piekus]

That boy Kimi has already earned my attention.

[HungarianRacer]

Hey fellow members of the "putting more stock in Kimi than George before it was cool" club, feeling smug at all yet?

Can ya'll imagine now if Russell was still the guy the team were betting on and building everything around to become their next champion?...

This current situation makes me wonder what Max or Charles could've done with the 2024 and 2025 Mercs...

Kimi has outqualified George 4 times in Miami now. It's a track he goes really well at (low grip) and one that George frankly, isn't very good on.

If this performance difference carries on at Canada, then fair enough but I suspect things will turn around from the next race.

I am 100% sure, George's car is compromised. It has never happened that he has been out qualified by that margin for 4 times in a row.

[SB15]

I am 100% sure, George's car is compromised. It has never happened that he has been out qualified by that margin for 4 times in a row.

George said he struggles with Low grip tracks, so he should be much better in Canada. But if Kimi still out qualifies him in Canada.... then the answers are clear.

[Jurgen von Diaz]

What are Kimi's and George's driving styles? Are they similar?

Imagine this happening if there is an accident like the one with Romain Grosjean in Bahrain!
