Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff says any claims the team would favor Kimi Antonelli over George Russell in the Formula 1 title race are “brainless”. Wolff was responding after another engine failure for Russell at the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia last week took his teammate Antonelli a big step closer to becoming F1’s youngest-ever champion. Wolff says any conspiracy theories are “completely nonsensical” and that it would make no sense to disadvantage one driver when the team is fighting for the constructors' title.
