沃尔夫：安东内利若在其他车队恐难留队
托托·沃尔夫表示，安东内利在2025赛季连续9场比赛未得分，若在其他F1车队恐怕早已被解雇。
托托·沃尔夫认为，基米·安东内利“在其他车队恐怕待不下去”。
托托·沃尔夫承认，安东内利在2025赛季连续9场比赛未得分，这样的表现若放在其他任何F1车队，他早就被解雇了。
致梅赛德斯车迷。来自银箭车队的最新消息，包括F1新闻、车手动态、赛车研发以及来自布拉克利和布里克斯沃思的赛事分析。
F1对年轻人才而言是一台残酷的绞肉机。如果一名新秀不能立即拿出表现，通常很快就会被车队负责人扫地出门。
对梅赛德斯来说，押注青少年安东内利取代刘易斯·汉密尔顿是终极冒险。而正如车队领队托托·沃尔夫坦然承认的那样，在这位意大利人2025年新秀赛季中，曾有一段黑暗时期，发车区上几乎任何其他车队都会选择终止合作。
在巴西大奖赛第三次自由练习赛后，沃尔夫接受天空体育F1的娜奥米·希夫和西蒙·拉森比采访，花了一点时间回顾他新加冕的世界冠军究竟离悬崖边缘有多近。
在安东内利于墨西哥城举起2026年冠军奖杯之前，他必须挺过一段噩梦般的低迷期。
“我特别自豪的是，我认为在经历了一个并不算压倒性的F2赛季后，他在其他车队恐怕都撑不下来，”沃尔夫在天空体育的转播中坦言。“还有去年那段连续九场比赛一分未得的时期。”
当压力达到绝对顶峰、批评者质疑这个厂队席位时，布拉克利车队上下团结一致。
他们无视外界的噪音，专注于遥测数据。
“我们只是相信自己的数据，相信我们对性格和潜力的感觉，”沃尔夫解释道。“因为有很多人站出来说，多么了不起的天才。而那不是这段历程。”

沃尔夫和他的高层领导团队没有让当时19岁的他淹没在银箭聚光灯下的巨大压力中，而是围绕他建立了一座心理堡垒。他们给了他其他车队根本不愿提供的时间。
沃尔夫指出：“这段旅程就是培养天赋、悉心栽培、指导、为他遮风挡雨、保护他。最终，你知道，他在车里的表现简直令人惊叹。”
最终的证明出现在墨西哥，安东内利锁定冠军。沃尔夫的耐心不仅让一位世代级天才免于被F1机器摧毁，还造就了F1历史上最年轻的世界冠军。

Toto Wolff doesn’t think Kimi Antonelli “would have lasted in other teams”
Toto Wolff admits Kimi Antonelli's 9-race pointless streak in 2025 would have gotA him fired by any other F1 team
For Mercedes fans. All the latest from the Silver Arrows, with F1 news, driver updates, car development and race analysis from Brackley and Brixworth.
Formula 1 is a vicious meat grinder for young talent. If a rookie doesn't perform immediately, there is usually a very short leash before a team principal shows them the door.
For Mercedes, taking a massive gamble on teenager Andrea Kimi Antonelli to replace Lewis Hamilton was the ultimate risk. And as team boss Toto Wolff freely admits, there was a dark stretch during the Italian's 2025 rookie campaign where almost any other team on the grid would have pulled the plug.
Speaking to Sky Sports F1’s Naomi Schiff and Simon Lazenby following Free Practice 3 at the Brazilian Grand Prix, Wolff took a moment to reflect on exactly how close his newly crowned world champion came to the brink.
Before Antonelli hoisted the 2026 championship trophy in Mexico City, he had to survive a nightmare slump.
"What I'm particularly proud of is that I don't think he would have lasted in other teams after an F2 season, which wasn't overwhelming," Wolff confessed on the Sky broadcast. "And this spell of nine races without any points last year."
When the pressure was at its absolute peak, and critics were questioning the factory seat, the Brackley squad closed ranks.
They ignored the outside noise and looked at the telemetry.
"We just trusted our data, trusted our feeling about the personality and the potential," Wolff explained. "Because there's so many that came out and said, what a talent. And that wasn't the journey."

Instead of letting the then-19-year-old drown in the immense pressure of the Silver Arrows spotlight, Wolff and his senior leadership team built a psychological fortress around him. They gave him the time that other teams simply refuse to offer.
"The journey was developing the talent, nurturing, mentoring, shielding him, protecting him," Wolff noted. "And eventually, you know, he in the car is just delivered absolutely amazingly."
The ultimate vindication arrived in Mexico when Antonelli secured the crown. Wolff's patience didn't just save a generational talent from being destroyed by the F1 machine - it built the youngest world champion in F1 history.
