Whilst Kimi Antonelli's future looks brighter, George Russell and Toto Wolff are locking horns...and neither one are backing down.

The Russell vs Mercedes saga is heating up and whilst there seemingly HAS been progress...it's gotten very technical. Yes, Toto Wolff has publicly promised Kimi Antonelli a seat for 2026...verbally. On Italian TV. For now, it's not signed, sealed and delivered. Meanwhile, George Russell has gone from pushing for a multi-year deal to being offered a single-season extension with no conditions...yep. He's being given the Valtteri Bottas treatment.

Without a deal done, Russell could walk...and Mercedes risk losing their proven leader at the very moment sponsors and car development need stability most. Is either party right to drag this out?
