Guenther Steiner shares bold take on whether Kimi Antonelli could beat Lewis Hamilton in the same car

In 2026, Kimi Antonelli is emerging as a generational talent, leading the championship with a significant margin over his teammate George Russell. Guenther Steiner, former Haas team principal, boldly claims that Antonelli would outperform seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton if they were in the same car, highlighting Antonelli's superior performance this season.

Steiner's comments come as Antonelli has achieved remarkable success, including multiple wins and poles, while Hamilton has shown a resurgence at Ferrari. Despite Hamilton's extensive experience, Steiner believes Antonelli's current form and potential make him a better choice than Hamilton or even Charles Leclerc. The discussion raises questions about the future dynamics in Formula 1, particularly regarding Antonelli's potential move to Ferrari.
