'And if you have a good car, good drivers will want to come.'
Mercedes are not currently talking to Max Verstappen about a potential race seat with Toto Wolff insisting their focus is solely on improving the car.
But with Verstappen under contract with Red Bull, and insisting more than once that he’s not going anywhere any time soon, it seems Wolff has given up in his pursuit of the Dutchman. And that’s exactly what Mercedes have been doing of late, George Russell grabbing the team’s first Grand Prix podium in Canada before Hamilton made it two in two races in Spain.
The Briton has been adamant from the very start of the rumours that Verstappen will not be going anywhere.“I’m very clear where Max is going to be next year which is here,” he said before asking: “Is Toto still talking about it? Is he? What did he say?”
