Mercedes CRUSH Red Bull by Stalling Russell Deal

from LawVS - The Ladder Man

In Canada, Mercedes pulled off the one strategy Red Bull can’t ignore: the charm offensive against Max Verstappen.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsToto Wolff is playing the long game, keeping Mercedes calm and composed while Red Bull deals with public drama and failed protests. In the midst of high-stakes politics, George Russell’s impressive form and quiet loyalty have become key assets for Mercedes, me finally realising just what Mercedes are up to in NOT signing both Kimi Antonneli and Russel ASAP; the team holding off on finalising his contract AND keeping the F1 world guessing about Max Verstappen’s future. With Red Bull losing money on stewards’ decisions, key staff departures and perhaps mounting pressure from sponsors like Oracle, the team’s internal struggles are becoming harder to hide. Meanwhile, Mercedes keeps their focus on track, quietly building momentum and projecting the kind of stability top drivers crave that has eluded them in recent years..As Verstappen’s trust in Red Bull is tested and the 2026 regulation changes approach, Wolff’s tactical silence turns up the heat. Every contract delay and public statement keeps Red Bull’s management on the back foot, ensuring Mercedes remains the most attractive team on the grid. Even if Max doesn't move, Mercedes could get what they wanted anyway!
