Toto Wolff Says He Was ‘Straightforward and Fair’ With Mercedes Drivers

“Being open and transparent is the best path forward,” Wolff said, denying “on-purpose flirting” with Max Verstappen while 2026 seats were unsettled. He admitted the saga was “destabilizing,” but kept faith: “I stand by George [Russell] and Kimi [Antonelli].” Wolff also called Antonelli's rise a “no-brainer”. Russell's 8 podium contribution, including 2 wins, keeps Mercedes P2.
