George Russell has revealed that Kimi Antonelli's competitive advantage at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix stems from the track's low grip characteristics. Mercedes' rookie driver secured his third consecutive pole position, qualifying four tenths ahead of Russell who could only manage fifth place on the grid.
