"I think when we decided to give him the race seat one and a half years ago, we hoped for this trajectory. The ups and downs you expect from a young driver aged 18 in the first year, and eventually by the second year [we hoped] the success would materialize and I think this is happening."
"Now, could we have predicted two wins out of three races at the beginning of the year for Kimi? No, but, you know, today he was quick when it mattered. Yes, the luck was on his side, but I think all of that contributed for him to have this consecutive victory."
Kimi Antonelli has emerged as a leading contender in the championship, currently holding a nine-point lead after winning two consecutive races. Toto Wolff has consistently supported Antonelli, emphasizing the need for patience as he develops. Despite a shaky start in the latest race, Antonelli's performance was commendable, and Wolff expressed optimism about his trajectory. The early season has shown both challenges and successes, with Antonelli's luck playing a role in his victories, but his skill has also shone through.
