    Antonelli reveals Hamilton’s empowering words amid Belgian GP nightmare

    Hamilton’s Support Shines Amid Antonelli’s Belgian GP Struggles

    Andrea Kimi Antonelli faced a challenging weekend at the Belgian Grand Prix, struggling in qualifying and ultimately finishing 16th in the main race. However, the young driver found solace in unexpected support from seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who delivered words of encouragement following Antonelli’s difficult outing.

    Antonelli’s Belgian GP Qualifying Setback

    In an underwhelming qualifying session, Antonelli was outperformed by teammate George Russell for the eighth consecutive time, ending up in 18th place, 0.355 seconds behind the British driver. The Italian rookie’s frustration was evident as he left the track for media duties, but Hamilton’s visit provided a much-needed boost to his spirits.

    Hamilton’s Encouragement

    Hamilton, who knows the pressures of being a rookie in Formula 1, empathised with Antonelli’s plight. “He was telling me to keep my head up and that it’s normal to have bad weekends,” Antonelli recounted. The Mercedes icon noted the immense pressure young drivers face, reminiscing about his own debut at Mclaren at just 22. “It’s a lot on someone’s shoulders,” he stated, reaffirming his belief in Antonelli’s potential and the support system around him.

    Race Day Challenges

    Despite starting from the pit lane, Mercedes aimed to increase Antonelli’s confidence by equipping his W16 with a high-downforce rear wing. While this adjustment improved stability, the driver struggled to make significant inroads during the race. “Those few laps where I was in free air I definitely had a lot more fun,” he remarked, contrasting it with the frustrations of being stuck in traffic.

    Road Ahead for Antonelli

    Reflecting on his performance, Antonelli acknowledged the need for improvement in qualifying. “I think I shouldn’t be starting that far back,” he admitted, emphasising the importance of regaining confidence with the car. His past experiences of racing at the front echoed hope that better qualifying performances could lead to stronger race finishes in the future.

    As Antonelli continues to navigate the complexities of Formula 1, the support from seasoned veterans like Hamilton could prove invaluable in his development. With determination and a strong team behind him, the young Italian has the potential to turn his fortunes around as the season progresses.
