Antonelli's result in Miami makes me wonder. In all the races so far, except Miami, he has been losing approximately 0.4s on average to Russell in hot laps (both in qualifying and in FP). In race pace the difference is smaller, but in hot laps it is usually between 0.2s and 0.6s. Why was it only different in Miami?!
For now, Miami seems like a very suspicious outlier to me because... is a track where teams tend to do something different in terms of marketing, as it is an event with greater visibility.
Imola should be a track where Antonelli does well, given the experience he has on that track (not to mention that it's his home track and that he's already done some private tests with old Mercedes cars there).
Watching his onbosards and listening to some so called experts on the matter i think he struggles in the high speed. His hamds look too nervy and jerky in the high speed but he makes up for it in the low speed where he is mega. Miami is mostly about low speed while imola is mostly high and medium speed corners.
