🚨 | NEW: Toto Wolff says Mercedes don't have enough money for more upgrades
"We haven't got the money to put developments on the car.
"I've said it before, we are trying to split it evenly through the season...
"We just can't do what we can't do."

Fresh softs and still couldn’t defend. Fed George to the lions, then conveniently disappeared. Amazing how “teamwork” always seems to mean George taking the consequences for Antonelli’s lack of ability.
they changed 12's engine as a precaution for 🇧🇪, while they were fine with GR having issues for 3 races, and waited until his engine cracked from a kerb.
12 will get the new aduo engine on the best track. to GR, best of luck rotating your fvcked up engines for the next 10 races?
“kimi has to be prioritized because he’s the championship leader” THAT DEFEATS THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 if your BIGGEST competitor is your teammate and who’s in 2nd, and your team is feeding you points, you are no righteous winner ur just boring
George Russell AGAIN had
Energy Deployment issues in the early laps of the Dutch GP Race
in Lap 7, Russell's Race Engineer informs him:
"okay, so energy management looks to have sorted itself out now, George."
the "energy management" issue had allowed Piastri a nearly free overtake in Lap 5.
This is the 5th consecutive GP where Russell had Energy Deployment issues😅
WHEN WILL MERCEDES EVER FIX RUSSELL'S CAR COMPLETELY?
Why did this problem suddenly reappear for the first laps of the Race, when deployment looked to have FINALLY been solved for Qualifying?
When will Mercedes take proper accountability for messing up Russell's race starts & early laps? Which are always the MOST CRITICAL?
They gifted him a DNF in his 1st lap in Spa, an anti-stall and no boost in the early laps of Hungary, now another deployment issue in the early laps of the Dutch GP - where Russell's RIS lights showed him harvesting all through the high-speed corners.
The consequences of these early laps are ENORMOUS - but without taking accountability for their role in disadvantaging Russell yet again,
Mercedes had issued Russell a Team Order,
then CANCELLED Team Orders that would protect Russell for no reason at all,
leaving him to fend off the Ferraris on new Softs with his ancient Hard tyres - which, though nearly impossible, he actually achieved through his amazing defense.
Imagine what we would see if he is finally given a problem-free car - or, I suppose, we could simply look to this week's Sprint as an example.
toto saying “kimi deserved to be ahead because of the pit stop” THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF A PITSTOP? YOU FALL BEHIND?? and then you could’ve pitted george as well
