<\/a><\/p>\nGeorge Russell, Hungarian GP 2025
\u00a9 Mercedes<\/p>\n
The timing comes not long after Red Bull’s Christian Horner was officially ousted – effectively ending any remaining links between Max Verstappen and a shock move to Mercedes.<\/p>\n
Antonelli, just 18, has faced mounting pressure in recent weeks and was visibly emotional amid a tough weekend at Spa. But at the Hungarian GP, the team reverted to an earlier suspension layout – and the rookie immediately started to rediscover form and confidence.<\/p>\n
It was a very intense first part of the season, and at times I struggled to manage my energy, Antonelli admitted.<\/p>\n
With the new suspension, I struggled a lot in terms of feeling, and mentally, I even started to doubt myself. I’m happy, however, that with the old suspension, the feeling is returning; I see it as a new starting point, especially in view of the new beginning after the summer break.<\/p>\n
According to strong paddock whispers, team boss and co-owner Wolff is expected to lock in the team’s 2026 driver lineup over the summer break – but the Austrian all but confirmed as much after the race in Hungary.<\/p>\n
Everything’s fine, Wolff told Sky Deutschland.<\/p>\n
Nobody needs to worry – I won’t get in the car, he joked. We’ll carry on like this.<\/p>\n
