Hunt for Verstappen
Max Verstappen it could really become a Mercedes driver in 2025? This is the big question that Formula 1 fans are asking themselves when looking at the driver market for next season. What seemed like a fantasy market just a few months ago has turned into one difficult but not impossible scenario thanks to the tensions that have exploded within the Red Bull team in the last month and a half, which have also collaterally involved the three-time world champion.
The person concerned has repeated several times: want to respect his contract with the Milton Keynes team, but he also made it clear that he couldn't imagine his stay at Red Bull without Helmut Marko at his side. However, the 80-year-old Austrian manager – Verstappen's mentor – now seems to be the main internal enemy of team principal Christian Horner and it is not a given that he will continue to be part of the staff of the world champion team in the near future.
Wolff's 'plan' according to Villeneuve
Toto Wolfffor his part, after initially glossing over, in recent weeks he decided to start doing one merciless court to Verstappeneven taking it for granted that the Dutchman dresses “sooner or later” the silver arrows suit. However, not everyone believes Wolff's 'good faith' when he talks about his intention to hire the current #1 of the Circus. Among these is the 1997 world champion, Jacques Villeneuvewhich judges the Austrian manager's behavior as motivated solely by the interest of destabilize the Red Bull environment even further.
“I can't imagine Toto Wolff wanting Max – Villeneuve told the British site OLBG.com. – the only way he could actually consider the idea would be just to annoy Red Bull. I don't see him at Mercedes because they lost the championship to Red Bull and Max. It certainly wouldn't be because he really wants Max. It would have more to do with the intention of creating problems for Red Bull.”concluded Williams' last world champion.
