And as we've discussed before, voice-verified

Even though he's the the guy newer to the game, he's the one of the two Mercedes drivers who has always looked like he's the least under pressure. voice-verified

Even early in the season when things were tighter. voice-verified

I don't really see how Monza adds to that. voice-verified

If he was racing there under normal circumstances, yes, I think he might feel it. voice-verified

But because he knows going into the race that he's gonna be starting from the back, I think that just means you go into to gun it mode. voice-verified

You don't take silly risks, but he'll be thinking, well, any positions I can gain, any points I can gain are effectively a free hit. voice-verified

So I think that's a freeing. voice-verified

place for a driver to be, even one who's in their home race. voice-verified

Yeah, I think that last point about Russell is really pertinent. voice-verified

I think there's an overwhelming, almost overwhelming body of evidence now that he's kind of got Russell's number and Russell's really scrabbling for an answer to this kind of wonder kid who's come in, just at the point where he felt he was ready to win a championship and deliver on the promise we'd all been saying he had up until now. voice-verified

Here comes Antonelli steaming in. voice-verified

I think it's interesting that read that his mentality voice-verified

Mentality has gone up a notch because I wonder, in hindsight, after Wolf said what he said in Monster 2025 that Antonelli was underwhelming, that was quite a shocking thing for him to say at the time, and we thought, Oh, this he's just such a young kid, he's so new and raw and everything else. voice-verified

Like, where is that public arm round the shoulder that we would assume at that point he'd probably need? voice-verified

But I I wonder if Antonelli's actually a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing and voice-verified

Wolf understands already that he has that kind of killer mindset underneath and the reason he's prepared to voice-verified

go public and say those kind of things at that stage because he knows Antonelli can take it, will take it the right way, and use it to improve. voice-verified

I mean this is the guy that they were prepared to replace Lewis Hamilton with in the team, so he must have these kind of proper mercenary cutthroat hardcore qualities that you need to succeed at the top of a sport like Formula One. voice-verified

And he's also the kind of Verstappen ground up kid voice-verified
