Inzaghi denies F1 comparisons as Inter remain streets ahead of rivals

Simone Inzaghi has hit the brakes on suggestions his Inter Milan team are becoming as dominant as Formula 1 world champions Red Bull.

Inter stretched their lead at the top of Serie A to a whopping 15 points thanks to a 2-1 home win over Genoa.

But with 11 games to go and a tricky trip to in-form Bologna to come on Saturday, the Nerazzurri boss is not getting carried away.

Following their 12th-straight victory in all competitions, Inzaghi said: "They say we are like the Red Bull in Formula 1 but we weren't that a few months ago, we weren't called a Red Bull in August. We got like that by working hard.

"It is the work of everyone, my staff, the players and the club that tries to support us in every tiny detail. I am so fortunate to have a squad that works like this and we have to keep going.

"Our destiny is in our hands. We put 15 points between Juventus, Milan and us in the space of 33 days.

"We must remain concentrated because we've been in football for many years. We know there are a lot of games to be played. The fixture list will be increasingly packed with Bologna, Atletico Madrid and Napoli before the break for international duty."

The 47-year-old continued: "I have to thank these lads, as in 2024 they played 12 games in 50 days and won all 12.

"We must not look back over our shoulders or pat ourselves on the back, we have to look forward to the future.

"We must continue like this, trying to work the way we have been. The lads know what our objectives are, there are still 11 rounds to go in Serie A and 33 points up for grabs, so we can't let anything go.

"We won the Supercoppa [Italiana], now we have to keep pushing and try to take this form to the Champions League."
