With Kimi Antonelli leading the championship and George Russell 59 points behind, Wolff was asked whether their battle could become another Hamilton-Rosberg situation. His answer? He won't allow it. Wolff says if either driver allows the rivalry to become destructive, he will remove that driver. After living through Mercedes' explosive Hamilton-Rosberg years, Wolff insists it won't happen again. 📻 ANTONELLI RADIO & THE “TELETUBBIES” ROW Unheard Kimi Antonelli radio from Hungary adds context to Wolff's extraordinary attack on rival engineers. A failure of the automatic blue-flag system meant drivers had to rely on manual flags while navigating traffic. Antonelli and Hamilton both lost significant time behind Gabriel Bortoleto, leading Wolff to lash out at the handling of lapped traffic. 🔴 SHOULD FERRARI BACK HAMILTON? Lewis Hamilton left Hungary second in the Drivers' Championship and 45 points behind Antonelli after ten rounds heading into the weekend. With Ferrari fighting to keep its championship challenge alive, we examine the argument that Hamilton's position gives Ferrari a reason to prioritise him over Charles Leclerc as the title battle develops. This is an argument made by the supplied F1 Oversteer feature, not a confirmed Ferrari decision. 🐂 HADJAR'S RED BULL WARNING Hungary exposed the RB22's weaknesses. Hadjar had started Friday strongly in P4 before dropping to P6 in FP2 as the conditions changed, admitting Red Bull had significant work to do against Ferrari. We examine his stronger post-weekend comments about just how uncomfortable the car became and what that says about Red Bull's development direction. 🏆 NORRIS TARGETS ANTONELLI Lando Norris isn't giving up on the 2026 championship. After winning in Hungary, Norris sits 91 points behind Antonelli with 316 still available. Norris believes the pressure is firmly on the Mercedes driver and points to Mercedes' mistakes as an opportunity for McLaren to attack during the second half of the season.
