    George Russell's worst fear... Kimi Antonelli's on his level

    George Russell saw the Canadian Grand Prix as a chance to relaunch his F1 world championship campaign but instead his worst fear was realised. Not only did he retire with engine issues, his team-mate Kimi Antonelli was bang on his pace — at one of Russell's strongest circuits. Mark Hughes and Bryn Lucas explore the gripping Montreal team-mate brawl we saw before Russell bowed out and what it means for a title race which the teenage Antonelli leads by 43 points. They also take an in-depth look at how the Mercedes team-mates' driving styles differ, including how Antonelli creates extra margin over Russell, but only under specific circumstances in races. Should Russell despair about his position? Will his greater experience give him the edge over the season? And can Mercedes keep the duo from destroying each other on the track? All this and more — including Lewis Hamilton looking back to his best in Canada and why this season really could be Max Verstappen's last in Formula 1 Mark also answers your questions on the excitement of Montreal and the fairness of Russell's defence of Antonelli.
