Toto Wolff has not ruled out continuing to 'flirt' with Max Verstappen about a future Mercedes F1 drive.
Wolff has been open about his pursuit to try and lure Verstappen away from Red Bull before his contract expires at the end of 2028, and told BBC Sport he has an “open communication channel” with the reigning world champion.
“There is no discussion, there is no second thoughts about what we’re doing in 2026, because now it’s about 2024 and 2025. And if flirting outside happens, then they will know it. Despite his attempts to poach Verstappen, Wolff insisted both George Russell and Antonelli are the “future” of Mercedes. “This is a pressure cooker, Mercedes always has been a pressure cooker, but this is where we stand as a team today, we want to go with these two.
