Mercedes make hilarious Russell gag in response to Wolff investigation

Mercedes make hilarious Russell gag in response to Wolff investigation

Russell en Wolff in Abu Dhabi

Mercedes' social media team took the opportunity to produce yet another George Russell meme in light of the supposed investigation into team principal Toto Wolff.

Wolff and his wife Susie Wolff have been the subject of a tumultuous week, with claims of a conflict of interest due to their differing job roles within Formula 1.

The FIA have now revealed in a statement that there isn't an ongoing investigation into the pair being privy to information not typically accessible.

Nevertheless, the week has been dramatic, with all nine of Mercedes' rivals releasing statements saying that it was not them who had complained to the FIA about the Wolffs, after Susie had said that the claims were 'deeply insulting' and 'misogynistic'.

Mercedes themselves have released multiple statements around the incident, but were seemingly enjoying the all of the controversy last Wednesday as their rivals' reaction came in thick and fast.

They posted a picture on X of Russell appearing to be 'drinking the tea' as the drama unravelled around him, in another iconic meme featuring the British driver.
