Wolff gives take on bittersweet Belgian GP for Mercedes

Mercedes enjoyed a successful weekend as Kimi Antonelli claimed victory at the Belgian Grand Prix, though the team's satisfaction was tempered by George Russell's early exit following a first-lap collision with Lewis Hamilton. Toto Wolff praised Antonelli's mature drive, noting that the young driver managed to overcome a deficit caused by a Virtual Safety Car to secure the win. However, the team boss also addressed the technical issues that plagued the start, noting that a power deployment failure affected all Mercedes engines. Russell, now trailing Antonelli by 50 points, expressed frustration over his weekend's performance, prompting Wolff to reiterate the team's commitment to ensuring equal conditions for both drivers as they push for further improvements.
