Toto Wolff insists he would not be disappointed if 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen never represents Mercedes.

The Mercedes team principal has🔯 conceded defeat in any ambition of luring the Red Bull driver 🉐to replace Ferrari-bound Lewis Hamilton in 2025.

📖Howe💞ver, a year later the new F1 regulations will kick in creating a new playing field.

The🌺 potential for a dominant era to begin from 2026 means that Mercedes could again dream of luring Verstappen.

Wolff was asked at the F1 Dutch Grand Prix🌜 about never being able to c🔜onvince Verstappen to move.

“I don’t think it’s a disappointment,” he told Sky Spor♑ts.

“Max is a great driver.

“We need to con🌟centrate on our drivers. George [Russell] is doing a mega job.

“Whoever will be in the second car, we will focus on, and not thi🎀nk about what could be in the future.

“I’d like to make it work with George and 🍰the new d🧔river.”

Wolff refused to confirm who will replac🌳e Hamilton i🌼n 2025.

However, all signs point to Andrea Kimi Antonelli - their excep𝕴tionally gifted teenage prospect.

“We have do❀ne lots of Formula 1 testing with him,” Wolff said.

“He’s had a ⛎great series in junior formulas. In F2, the team is struggling a𝐆 little bit.

“It’🌺s very clear that if the campaign goes well, he might ha꧙ve a chance at Formula 1.”

Wolff joked: “If it doesn’t? I told h𓄧im we’re doing⛦ the Renault Clio Cup next year!”

Antonelli, 18, is set to get ﷺthe nod to replace Hamilton at Mercedes ꦆnext year after a long-running saga to select a new driver.

Placing faith on Antonelli’s young shoulders is comparable to Red Bull🅠’s faith in Verstappen whe𝓰n he was also a teenager.

However, not everybody is convinced by Antonelli’s ability to step up fr๊om F2 to F1.

I think it’s a mista🐎ke,” Eddie Jordan has claimed.

“You are putting incredible pressure on him.”
