Wolff would “love” to lure Verstappen from Red Bull’s F1 team
Verstappen’s contract with Red Bull extends until 2028, but internal issues within the team have raised the possibility of him leaving. Recent developments, such as the potential departure of Helmut Marko and Verstappen’s threat to quit, have caught the attention of Mercedes’ Toto Wolff. Wolff has been in discussions with Verstappen’s father and manager, showing interest in having the Dutch driver on board. However, Wolff acknowledges that Mercedes needs to improve its car performance before considering signing Verstappen. The decision ultimately lies with Verstappen, who is highly sought after by many teams in the paddock. Meanwhile, Mercedes is taking its time evaluating potential candidates to partner with George Russell for the upcoming seasons, with no rush to make a decision in the immediate future.
