Toto Wolff slams Kimi Antonelli Mercedes F1 exit rumours as ‘complete nonsense’
Toto Wolff dismissed the rumors of Kimi Antonelli moving to Williams or Alpine for the 2026 F1 season as “nonsense.” Mercedes has not yet confirmed its driver lineup for the following year. Antonelli and George Russell’s current contracts with Mercedes expire at the end of this season. Despite Wolff’s insistence on keeping both drivers, new contracts have not been finalized. Antonelli has had a challenging rookie season, struggling to consistently finish in the top 10 and scoring points only three times since June. Wolff emphasized that Antonelli will remain at Mercedes for the 2026 season.
