乔治·拉塞尔：托托·沃尔夫反驳赫尔穆特·马尔科对这位梅赛德斯车手未来前景的质疑，与此同时基米·安东内利接近夺冠
前红牛高层赫尔穆特·马尔科对乔治·拉塞尔未来成为F1世界冠军的希望提出质疑；托托·沃尔夫表示这位英国车手具备赢得世界冠军所需的一切条件；天空体育将从本周五起直播墨西哥城大奖赛的所有各节练习与排位
梅赛德斯领队托托·沃尔夫表示，基米·安东内利在美国大奖赛的表现“非常出色”。
梅赛德斯领队托托·沃尔夫反驳了赫尔穆特·马尔科的说法，即乔治·拉塞尔本赛季表现不及队友基米·安东内利，因此未来几乎没有机会成为F1世界冠军。
安东内利在周日赢得了美国大奖赛，距离成为这项运动史上最年轻的世界冠军仅一步之遥，这位20岁的车手只需在本周末的墨西哥城大奖赛中完赛名次不低于第九，就能提前四站锁定总冠军。
这位意大利车手历史性赛季中最令人震惊的一点，或许是他压制拉塞尔的方式——去年安东内利的新秀赛季中，拉塞尔曾全面压制他，因此本赛季开始时拉塞尔是明确的夺冠热门。

在奥斯汀周日比赛前，前红牛赛车运动顾问马尔科对天空体育德国台表示：“从心理层面看，这无疑是一次巨大挫折，也是一次打击。拉塞尔不再是头号车手。”
“安东内利已经相当明显地从他手中夺走了这个位置。但拉塞尔是顶尖车手之一。我怀疑他是否还会有另一次争夺世界冠军的机会，或者在任何地方被赋予头号车手地位。”

周日比赛结束后，当被问及他对马尔科关于拉塞尔冠军资质的评论有何回应时，沃尔夫表示：“我先从赫尔穆特说起。我的意思是，他是我的奥地利……不算好友，但我尊重他的意见。”
“但我认为他对乔治的看法是错的。乔治具备一切能力。我认为是赛车不适合他。”
“我认为在赛季初，当你感觉自己今年该出成绩了，而另一边又冒出个天才少年开始真正蚕食你的位置时，这种局面或许很难应对。”
乔治·拉塞尔承认他的梅赛德斯赛车速度“糟糕透顶”，这让他在美国大奖赛上只获得第八名。
"而且我相信，在新赛季，乔治，如果我们给他一辆快车，这完全有可能，他绝对具备赢得总冠军所需的一切。"
"所以，我觉得说‘让我们忘掉他那些年在F2和F3新秀赛季以及卡丁车连续欧洲冠军的所有经历’有点太轻率了。那些东西仍然都在。"
"乔治并不比基米慢十分之三"
拉塞尔自2022赛季加入梅赛德斯以来表现非常稳定，超出了预期，在效力银箭的前三年里与刘易斯·汉密尔顿作为队友给人留下了深刻印象。
拉塞尔在2025年延续了强劲状态，他最大化发挥了一辆表现不佳的赛车，最终在车手锦标赛中排名第四，积分超过第七名安东内利的两倍。
在美国大奖赛上，安东内利起步飞快，而乔治·拉塞尔被罚时五秒。
因此，当拉塞尔赢得澳大利亚赛季揭幕战后，安东内利连续拿下职业生涯前五场胜利，建立起看似不可撼动的积分榜领先优势时，这令人大为惊讶。
沃尔夫认为，2026赛季前重大规则变化是拉塞尔陷入困境的主要原因，但他表示，车队有责任帮助这位28岁的车手找回最佳状态。
沃尔夫说：“乔治对我们全队来说都是冠军，他在每个组别都赢过。我认为他理应被归入最顶尖车手之列。去年我们已经看到了这一点。”
“而今年，我们看到了成绩上的这种波动。当我们把赛车调校到适合他的方式时，他绝对很快。但当赛车掉出那个操作窗口时，他就会挣扎，而且他挣扎得也许比基米更多。”
乔治·拉塞尔在新加坡大奖赛取得领先不久后撞车退赛。
“而这是我们的责任。我们只能和他一起弄清楚，为什么驾驶表现会有这么大的差异，因为乔治并不是比基米慢半秒、慢零点三秒。那绝对不是事实。”
那么，他不喜欢的是什么？我们需要在改装赛车、以不同方式调校赛车让他跑快方面做些什么？因为一切都在那里，智慧、能力、决心。

George Russell: Toto Wolff rejects Helmut Marko's doubts over Mercedes driver's future hopes as Kimi Antonelli nears title
Former Red Bull chief Helmut Marko has cast doubt over George Russell's hopes of becoming F1 world champion in the future; Toto Wolff says the Brit has what is required to win a title; watch every session of the Mexico City GP from this Friday, live on Sky Sports
Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff says that Kimi Antonelli's performance at the United States Grand Prix was 'exceptional'.
Mercedes chief Toto Wolff has rejected Helmut Marko's suggestion that George Russell has little chance of becoming Formula 1 world champion in the future after being outperformed by his team-mate Kimi Antonelli this season.
Antonelli won the United States Grand Prix on Sunday to move to the brink of being crowed the sport's youngest ever champion, with the 20-year-old only needing to finish ninth this weekend in the Mexico City Grand Prix to seal the title with four rounds to spare.
Perhaps the most shocking element of the Italian's historic campaign has been the way he has outperformed Russell, who had begun the season as the clear title favourite after dominating Antonelli during the latter's rookie season last year.

Speaking ahead of Sunday's race in Austin, former Red Bull motorsport advisor Marko told Sky Germany: "Mentally, it's certainly a massive setback and it's a blow. Russell is no longer the number one driver."
"Antonelli has quite clearly taken that spot from him. But Russell is one of the top drivers. I doubt whether he'll ever have another chance at the world title or be given number one status anywhere."
Highlights from the 2026 United States Grand Prix.
Asked after Sunday's race whether he has a response to Marko's comments on Russell's title pedigree, Wolff said: "I start with Helmut. I mean, he's my Austrian… not so buddy, but I respect his opinion.
"But I think he's wrong on George. George has all the ability. I think the car doesn't suit him.
"I think that at the beginning of the season, it's maybe difficult to cope with a situation where you're feeling like this is my year to come, and then you have this wunderkind on the other side that starts to really chip away.
George Russell admits the pace of his Mercedes was 'rubbish ', costing him eighth at the United States GP.
"And I believe that in a new season, George, if we provide him a quick car, it's absolutely possible, (he) has absolutely what it takes to win a championship.
"So, I think it's a bit too easy to say, let's forget about all these years where he won in F2 and in F3 in his rookie years and the European championships back-to-back in karting. That's still all there."
'George is not three tenths slower than Kimi'
Russell had performed with great consistency since joining Mercedes for the 2022 season, exceeding expectations by impressing with Lewis Hamilton as his team-mate for his first three years with the Silver Arrows.
His strong form continued in 2025 as Russell maximised an underperforming car to finish fourth in the Drivers' Championship, more than doubling the points total of seventh-placed Antonelli.
Kimi Antonelli got a flying start at the United States Grand Prix as George Russell was handed a five-second penalty.
It therefore came as a major surprise when, after Russell won the season opener in Australia, Antonelli reeled off the first five wins of his career in succession to establish a championship lead that he has never looked like relinquishing.
Wolff believes the major regulation change that preceded the 2026 season is the main reason for Russell's struggles, but says it is on the team to help the 28-year-old rediscover his best form.
"George, for all of us in the team, is a champion and has won in every category," Wolff said. "And I think he merits to be put in the group of the very best ones (drivers). We've seen that last year.
"And this year, we've seen this variability in results. When we land the car in the way that suits him, he's absolutely fast. But when it drops out of that operational window, he struggles, and he struggles more than maybe Kimi.
George Russell crashes out shortly taking the lead at the Singapore Grand Prix.
"And that is on us. We just have to work it out with him how there can be such a difference in driving, in performance, because George is not half a second slower, three tenths slower than Kimi. That's just absolutely not the case.
"So, what is it that he doesn't like? What is it that we need to do in terms of modifying the car, setting it up in a different way for him to go fast? Because it's all there, the intelligence, the ability, the determination."
