Mercedes searching for answers after Kimi Antonelli’s pace fell off in F1 Dutch GP

Kimi Antonelli faced challenges during the Dutch Grand Prix, finishing second after a strong start but struggling with car balance in the latter stages of the race. Mercedes is investigating the issues he encountered, particularly the increased oversteer with each tyre change, as they prepare for the next race in Italy where Antonelli will incur an engine penalty due to earlier reliability problems.

Despite his difficulties, Antonelli managed to extend his championship lead, with support from teammate George Russell, who allowed him to pass during the race. The team is focused on resolving the performance issues before the upcoming race, as competition tightens in the championship standings.
