Antonelli: I feel confident in the car again.

      At Zandvoort Kimi Antonelli said that Mercedes' decision to return to the previous version of the rear suspension helped him a lot — and he hopes for better results in the remaining races…

      Kimi Antonelli: "The team understood well the problems that prevented me from fully unleashing my potential behind the wheel. These problems were extremely difficult, practically impossible to solve with any update, so I tried to do something myself by changing my driving style, but since we went back to the old suspension I have felt my former confidence in myself and in the car.

      In Hungary I was very pleased — like a weight off my shoulders, although the result there did not reflect the real potential. I hope that in the second half of the season I will be able to steadily improve and achieve excellent results."
