Wolff plans to have a chat with driver Verstappen
The Sentinel
|August 07, 2025
FORMULA ONE: Toto Wolff said he needed to talk to Max Verstappen about a possible move to Mercedes but was now happy to secure George Russell’s future with the team.
-
Verstappen confirmed for the first time that he would stay with Red Bull ahead of last weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, putting to an end speculation that he could make a sensational move to rivals Mercedes ahead of the 2026 season.
Mercedes and Wolff have made little secret of their desire to sign the four-time world champion, which heightened talk that Russell - who is out of contract at the end of this season - could lose his seat.
Team principal Wolff admitted that the possible availability of Verstappen, 27, had to be explored.
