Wolff explains Mercedes' Dutch GP team orders after Russell's radio frustration
What happened
Mercedes' Toto Wolff has said the late decision to swap drivers, and title rivals, Kimi Antonelli and George Russell at the Dutch GP "wasn't a very difficult call," despite the latter's clear reluctance over team radio. Antonelli got ahead of Russell at the start of the Grand Prix at Zandvoort, and took the lead of the race following a standing restart after Max Verstappen's shocking Lap 1 crash at Turn 14.
