Jenson Button has endorsed Peter Bonnington's work as Kimi Antonelli's race engineer at Mercedes, saying Bonnington has a calming effect on the rookie driver. Button also raised a question about some elements of Antonelli's aggression on track. His comments came ahead of 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 2026 coming from outside the UK. Lando Norris also revealed an emotional reaction to British crowd after his latest outing.
