Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has indicated that the team will avoid making Andrea Kimi Antonelli “suffer,” after a run of “subpar” F1 races.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff expressed that they will support Andrea Kimi Antonelli to avoid further struggles in Formula 1 races.
Antonelli, currently ranking seventh in the Drivers’ Championship, has shown promise with achievements like pole position at the Miami Sprint Race and his first GP podium in Canada.
However, recent races have been challenging for the young driver, starting with incidents at the Austrian Grand Prix and the grid penalty at Silverstone following a collision with Max Verstappen.
