Jenson Button has endorsed Peter Bonnington's work as Kimi Antonelli's race engineer at Mercedes, saying Bonnington has a soothing effect on the rookie driver. Button also raised a concern about some elements of Antonelli's aggression on track. His comments came just before the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Ferrari sought strategic advice to challenge Antonelli at the race. Silverstone's global appeal has grown, with most ticket buyers for the event coming from outside the UK. Lando Norris also revealed an emotional reaction to the local crowd after his latest outing.
