Italian F1 sensation Kimi Antonelli reveals the shocking obstacle hindering his success in the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix. Antonelli, a rising star at Mercedes, opened up about his struggles with the challenging C6 tire compound during the recent European triple-header races, leading to a dip in his performance.

Despite a stellar start to his Formula 1 career, including securing points in five out of six races and a remarkable pole position at the Miami Sprint Race, Antonelli faced setbacks due to the unpredictable nature of the C6 tires. The young driver expressed his difficulty in finding consistency and performance with the C6 compound, impacting his confidence on the track.

Antonelli emphasized the demanding nature of the C6 tire, stating, “The C6 seems to be a super picky tire, and it’s really difficult to put it in the right window already from the out lap.” His struggles to adapt to the tire’s behavior resulted in varying performances between sessions, affecting his overall race outcomes.

Looking ahead to the Canadian Grand Prix, Antonelli shared his tire homework and simulator preparations to tackle the challenges posed by the unique characteristics of the Montreal track. With a two-week break between races, the 18-year-old driver dedicated time to analyze and understand the C6 compound better, aiming to optimize his performance in Canada.

Antonelli’s determination to overcome the tire difficulties and improve his performance was evident as he clinched the third-fastest time in FP2 on Friday in Canada. The young Italian driver’s relentless pursuit of excellence and meticulous preparation highlight his ambition to excel in the competitive world of Formula 1.

As Antonelli gears up for the Canadian Grand Prix, fans and experts eagerly anticipate his performance on the track, with the talented rookie poised to showcase his skills and determination in the face of adversity. Stay tuned as Kimi Antonelli navigates the challenges of the C6 tire compound and aims for success at the upcoming race in Canada.
