Championship leader hands Mercedes his wish amid Wolff pointing out Suzuka warning

The Italian driver achieved his second victory of the season and career at the Japanese Grand Prix.

As a result, he currently leads the drivers' standings as well ahead of his teammate George Russell by nine points.

"Difficult. I think our car is very good," the young Italian began.

He then mentioned where he and the team need to both improve.

"In this case Oscar did much better than me because… I cannot say, but I ‘effed’ it up pretty badly. But yeah, I just need to keep working on that area," the championship leader concluded.

Antonelli's team boss, Toto Wolff, is aware that the Miami Grand Prix could start a new chapter in the championship. "It could be the case. People have learned now, teams and drivers are starting to learn how to optimize the systems to their benefit. And we've seen that first indication," the Austrian said in Japan.
