Bonnington recalls stern talk that turned around Antonelli's rookie F1 season

Kimi Antonelli's race engineer Peter 'Bono' Bonnington has said a "really stern conversation" helped turn around the Italian driver's rookie Formula 1 season. The conversation came a year before Antonelli became the 2026 world champion.

Antonelli finished third at the Mexican Grand Prix, which was enough to secure his maiden title. Speaking to F1 TV after the race, Bonnington reflected on how the change in Antonelli's form had come about.
