Mercedes defends Dutch GP team orders decision

Mercedes has reviewed its team orders at the Dutch Grand Prix, confirming that allowing Kimi Antonelli to overtake George Russell was the correct move to secure a double podium.

The team insists the decision to have Antonelli pass Russell late in the race ensured they finished one-two in Zandvoort.

Mercedes stated they would have made the exact same call in reverse, prioritizing the final race result over individual driver hierarchy. truewildslot.com
