Max Verstappen takes shot at George Russell in message to new F1 champion Kimi Antonelli

Max Verstappen appeared to aim a swipe at George Russell in the wake of Kimi Antonelli’s F1 world title triumph as he congratulated the Italian on doing an ‘unbelievable job compared to his team-mate’. Antonelli made history as he became the youngest champion in history with a third-place finish at a chaotic Mexico City Grand Prix. The 20-year-old Mercedes driver kept is cool in an otherwise action-packed race which saw Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc ’s internal tension at Ferrari reach boiling point.
