Is Antonelli favoured by Mercedes? Wolff responds to latest claims
Wolff said Mercedes gives both drivers equal material and dismissed online claims after Russell’s engine failure and grid penalty fueled speculation.
- On Friday at the Singapore Grand Prix, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff rejected claims of favoritism, dismissing suggestions the team is sabotaging George Russell to benefit Andrea Kimi Antonelli.
- Conspiracy theories emerged after Russell suffered a late engine failure in Malaysia last weekend, forcing the driver into an early power unit change and grid penalty.
- Wolff insisted the team provides equal opportunity to both drivers, citing his long-term relationship with Russell and his experience managing Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg as proof of balanced leadership.
- Responding to critics, the team principal called the allegations "brainless" and told speculators to "watch Teletubbies" rather than Formula 1, criticizing those hiding behind screens.
- With seven rounds remaining, Antonelli leads the championship by 84 points, though both drivers continue receiving equal material as Mercedes maintains competitive integrity.
