Wolff shuts the door on driver collusion question Date published: May 1 2021 Asked whether expecting George Russell to treat the Mercedes drivers as his team-mates amounted to collusion, Toto Wolff refused to answer. Last time out at Imola, Russell was racing Bottas for position when he made a mistake and took both cars out of the grand prix. Wolff was furious, especially as the Mercedes junior driver, who races for Williams, took out a Mercedes. Threatening Russell with a demotion to the Renault Clio Cup, Wolff later spoke of the Brit taking risks when the “other car is a Mercedes in front of you.”
