Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff says Kimi Antonelli must remain wary even as the Italian driver extends his points lead in the championship. Wolff warns that unexpected “black swan events” could still disrupt any title momentum, and that Antonelli should not assume the race is effectively over.
The outlets report Wolff’s message as a cautionary stance rather than a change in competitiveness. The focus is on how quickly fortunes can shift in a season due to unforeseen incidents, performance swings, or other factors outside a driver’s control. Both sources present the same core theme: Antonelli’s current advantage is significant, but Wolff stresses the need to stay prepared and focused on each remaining event.
While one outlet frames the note as an explicit “title warning,” the overall reporting remains consistent, highlighting Wolff’s view that maintaining composure and reducing complacency is essential. Neither source cites a specific new event or incident, instead centering the comments on the general unpredictability of the championship.
