Do you think Kimi Antonelli will become Mercedes' No. 1 driver?

I think this is really harsh from Ralf! Mercedes are clear on not picking a number 1 driver, so I cannot see this happening!

For now, the two are going to be on equal footing at the very least. But Russell needs to start stringing some strong finishes together to regain the No. 1 driver spot.

Saying Russell isn’t authentic seems harsh 😅 but he must feel so threatened by Kimi, who is only going to get better and better

Andrea Kimi Antonelli has firmly established himself as more of an equal to George Russell this year, having been the clear No2 at Mercedes during his rookie campaign last season. But Antonelli would need to cast a shadow over Russell across multiple seasons to be Mercedes' new No1 driver.

There's only going to be a hierarchy if it gets to the last few races and one of the McLaren drivers is in touch, I don't see this scenario materialising
