Wolff hails Antonelli’s ‘best race’ in Austin

Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has hailed Kimi Antonelli's dominant United States Grand Prix victory as his best race yet, praising the Italian's exceptional composure and control in the W17. Despite a challenging start to the weekend with the team's update package, Antonelli secured pole position and converted it into a commanding win, though the World Championship battle with teammates Lewis Hamilton and George Russell remains mathematically open heading into Mexico. Wolff also highlighted Antonelli's remarkable mental resilience and relaxed attitude under pressure, noting that the driver's rapid development is the culmination of nine years of dedicated teamwork and support by the Mercedes junior program.
