Have Mercedes DOOMED Kimi Antonelli in his home race? | Up To Speed

The upgrade race is well and truly on! A big slap in the face for Red Bull who have been told AGAIN they have the best engine so can't upgrade (despite not winning a single race yet...) and Toto Wolff is saying Mercedes have run out of money for improvements (do we believe him??).

Plus, Kimi Antonelli is taking an engine penalty in his home race, which could mean he starts LAST.

So, could Mercedes upgrade strategy cost them the title? Is it unfair to say Red Bull have the best engine? Why is Kimi taking the penalty now? And are Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris rubbing their hands together at all this news?
