The Mercedes sirens
For a few months now Toto Wolff has Max Verstappen in his sights and is testing the waters to bring him to the team in 2025 or 2026. A market scenario that seemed unachievable until recently, both due to the tensions between the parties and the long contract that binds the Dutchman to his team. But the Horner case and the infighting at Red Bull created this possibility for Wolff, ready to hand over a very rich contract to Max and – even – to bring Helmut Marko to Mercedes.
Wolff calls Max and Marko
In an interview given to oe24Wolff did not hold back in commenting on the improvement of relations with Marko: “We have become closer again in recent times. Despite the rivalry there are common values for which we fight”. The references to Christian Horner then become less vague: “With all the things that have happened in the last few months, we realized that we think the same way. I mean about the behavior of some people.”
Therefore Wolff continues not to deny the possibility of both Verstappen and Marko joining Mercedes, answering a specific question relating to 2026: “Let’s put it this way, in Formula 1 anything is possible.”
