Toto Wolff drops massive Mercedes F1 driver line-up clue
Toto Wolff seems to have accepted that luring F1 champion Max Verstappen from Red Bull for next year is unlikely. Rumors have been circulating about Verstappen possibly moving to Mercedes, especially after the recent drama at Red Bull. Although talks of a potential driver switch have been ongoing, Wolff is publicly downplaying the idea as of now. He mentioned that it’s highly probable that the Mercedes lineup will remain unchanged for the next season, with George Russell and Kimi Antonelli staying put. Wolff joked about Christian Horner’s Red Bull exit, hinting that Horner might return to the F1 scene in a different role. Despite a rough start at the Belgian Grand Prix, with Russell and Antonelli finishing 12th and 17th, Mercedes seems determined to stick with their current drivers.
