The head of the Mercedes Formula One team, Toto Wolffhas rejected speculation about a team management meeting with Max Verstappen’s immediate entourage after this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix, as suggested by some German media.
There is talk of a meeting between Jos Verstappen, the driver’s father, and his manager Raymond Vermeulen with Mercedes team co-owners Toto Wolff, Ineos boss Jim Ratcliffe and Mercedes Benz CEO Ola Kallenius.
Mercedes is looking for a replacement for Lewis Hamilton, who will leave the team and join Ferrari at the end of the season, but when he asked Toto Wolff this Monday evening at an event in New York, he completely dismissed: “No, that’s one of the rumors. People are inventing meetings, inventing what’s happening in drivers, but these things have to be done through closed doors and everything.
Wolff has known Jos Verstappen for many years and has made no secret of his desire to sign a champion like Max Verstappen, but the Dutch driver has a contract with Red Bull until 2028.
Mercedes will bring a package of improvements to Miami after an inconsistent season so far.
