The big question now is, can Antonelli carry this 40-something points advantage all the way to Abu Dhabi? He was driving on the ragged edge at Montreal, such that I think he may not have won it had the battle continued to the last lap. He would have destroyed his tyres and ruined his race in that scenario. Russell's stopping took away the punishment on his tyres. The next car behind was the slow Ferrari of Hamilton, which did not pose a threat.
He is very exciting to watch, but his inexperience and hot-headedness would be a disadvantage in future races. It could hand the driver's title to Russell or a McLaren or Ferrari driver (after the ADUO). Which would be a shame.
What is very clear is that we have a proper battle royal this season, and it would make great spectacle.
