What happened: Kimi Antonelli says he still believes he holds momentum in the championship battle with Mercedes team-mate George Russell, even after losing ground across the last two races. The comments come with the intra-team title fight tightening as the season progresses.

Why it matters: An internal Mercedes title fight puts the team in a delicate position, balancing two drivers chasing the same crown. Antonelli's refusal to concede signals the contest is far from settled, keeping pressure on both sides of the garage.

What to watch: Watch whether Antonelli can arrest the slide and close the gap to Russell in the coming rounds, and how Mercedes manages an increasingly direct fight between its drivers.
