## Resource

I'm not calling a full-on intra-team drama yet...but the contract might hint toward it. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs Mercedes re-signed both drivers last October and everyone read it the same way. Russell the senior man, Antonelli the project...but for only 2026...Now the reporting since suggests two very different deals in the same garage. Whilst the Verstappen door everyone watched looks shut, the leverage that door created is still sitting right there in the Mercedes paperwork. What does Toto do with a leash he no longer strictly needs? #f1 #mercedesf1 #georgerussell #kimiantonelli #totowolff #formula1 #f1news #verstappen #mercedesamgf1 #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama #f1gossip Toto Wolff Just Trapped His Own Driver https://youtu.be/3oGNGPIKX3U Hosted on Acast.
