Jenson Button has endorsed the role of Kimi Antonelli's race engineer at Mercedes, saying Bonnington has a soothing effect on the young talent. Button also raised a concern about one aspect of Antonelli's aggression on track. His comments came just before the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Ferrari sought track-specific advice to counter Antonelli at the race. Silverstone's global appeal has grown, with a large share of ticket buyers for the event coming from outside the UK. Lando Norris also revealed an emotional reaction to British crowd after his latest outing.
