Toto Wolff reminds Mercedes F1 drivers of ‘responsibility’ to 150,000 people
Toto Wolff has reminded George Russell and Kimi Antonelli that the team is always bigger than the drivers as they gear up for their expected title battle in the 2026 season. Mercedes has been dominant with three wins from three races and the Chinese GP Sprint. Antonelli leads Russell by nine points heading into the season’s resumption in Miami. Mercedes has previous experience with intra-team battles, like the Hamilton vs Rosberg rivalry. Wolff is keen to learn from past fights and emphasized the importance of teamwork over individual competitiveness. The team values and legacy are paramount, with a responsibility for drivers to race for Mercedes, acknowledging the team’s history and the support of 150,000 people working for them.
