Toto Wolff strikes back at 'couch warriors' with 'complete bullshit' defence

Toto Wolff defended Mercedes' decision to pit Kimi Antonelli instead of George Russell during the virtual safety car period at the Italian Grand Prix, labeling the criticism from fans as 'complete bullshit.' Wolff emphasized that the strategy was correct given the tire choices and race predictions, asserting that Russell was not unfairly disadvantaged by the decision.

The race concluded with Antonelli securing victory, extending his lead in the drivers' standings significantly over Russell. Mercedes also maintained a strong position in the constructors' championship, leading Ferrari by a substantial margin.
