Brundle: Antonelli's 'Heartbreaking' British GP Lesson

Martin Brundle has highlighted a communication breakdown as the key factor in Kimi Antonelli's missed opportunity at the British Grand Prix, calling the experience 'heartbreaking' for the Mercedes young gun.

Mercedes' championship leader Kimi Antonelli suffered a harsh but necessary learning experience during the British Grand Prix, with former Formula 1 driver and Sky Sports analyst Martin Brundle identifying a communication breakdown that derailed the Italian's charge for victory.

The Silverstone weekend initially looked promising for Antonelli, who had shown strong form throughout, but the 19-year-old's hopes were dashed due to what Brundle described as a critical communication error between the driver and his team. newssport.cv
