Toto Wolff has said he will stop “flirting” with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen as he gives “maximum support” to Mercedes’ 2025 F1 drivers.

Wolff has been vocal in his interest in signing Verstappen since 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s shock switch to Ferrari was annoꦅunced in Febr🗹uary.

However, with Verstappen unwilling to leave Red Bull, Mercedes have promoted wonderkid Andrea Kimi Antonelli alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell for the 2025 F1 season.

With Verstappen seemingly no longer an option - at least for now - Wolff has said he will stop with his public affection to🦄wards the Dutchman.

“We're sitting back,” he told Motor🍃sport.com. “I think I've expressed it before, and we have a similar view also from Max's side: you've got to put faith in your drivers or in your team. Yo🐻u need to give it the maximum support you can to make it a success. And only if things go really wrong, you will consider other opportunities.

“For me,💞 it's like 🃏flirting outside whilst you're making your relationship work. It doesn't work, I'm not flirting outside.

“Only if I want to have a change, or consider a change, I would seek a co🅘nversation.🌺 And it is the same on his side. We're pretty aligned in our values on that I think.”

Wolff has insiꦆsted that Russell and Antonelli will rece♋ive the “same support” and that “nothing changes” now Hamilton has left.

“We don't 𒁏make a big 🐈difference,” he added. “Emotionally, we give them the same support. Nothing changes.

“Every top driver in F1 knows that he needs to compete against their team-mate, whether he's young or old. George's te🐬ammate has been Lewis Hamilton, the greatest driver of all time, for three years.

“So🍎 he will be just fine competing against one of the youngest, who comes in with great🍸 expectations.”
