via f1oversteer.comToto Wolff just dropped the biggest hint yet that Kimi Antonelli will become Mercedes' no. 1 driverToto Wolff's recent comments following the Dutch Grand Prix indicate a significant shift in Mercedes' driver strategy, suggesting that Kimi Antonelli may be prioritized as the team's lead driver.
