George Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli fought tooth and nail for the lead of the Canadian Grand Prix.“Strange noise”
“Kimi is 2% rearwards on b-bal”
“Can you help me with strats?”
“Has he got Overtake Mode?”
“He needs to back up a bit”
“If we can’t keep it tidy we’ll stop you racing”
“There’s a double yellow where George has stopped”So Norris may be pitting.

Russell goes wide at turn 13 and Antonelli passes
Clearly intended to say ‘race without risk’
