Toto Wolff has accused arch rival Christian Horner of “stirring sh*t” up after the Red Bull boss mentioned 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell as a possible option.

Red Bull’s driver line-up has been a hot topic during the Singapore Grand Prix weekend amid speculation about 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo’s future.

During a Sky interview on Saturday, Horner mentioned Russell being out of co⛦ntract at the end🍰 of 2025 and that it would be “foolish” not to consider that.

Horner said: “Look, we're not afraid to go out of the pool. George Russell is out of contract at the end of ne💝xt year. It would be foolish not to take that into consideration.

“T🐷here are other drivers, talented drivers, that will be out of contract as well.”

Horner’s🍰 comments are particularly interesting given Mercedes’ interest in Max Verstappen.

Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli will form Mercedes’ driver line-up for nꦇext year.

However, if Verstappen is on the market, Wolf⛦f might have a tough decision to make.

Speaking after the racꦏe on Sunday, Wolff was as🃏ked about Horner’s comments.

Wolff saidꦺ as quoted by Motorsport.com: “I think he is always stirring sh*t up, it is part๊ of the game.

“George i𝕴s a M🉐ercedes driver and has been forever and hopefully will be forever. We have a long contract with him.”

Wolff insists Russell an🅘d Antonelli are the “future” of Mercedes despite previous interest in Verstappen.

He added: “These two are the future. They have bꦍeen and will be Mercedes drivers, ෴and therefore we have contracts with George and Kimi that go much longer, that are very complicated in terms of options, etc.

“Mercedes has always been a pressure cooker, but this is where we stand as a team 🔯t🐲oday, we want to go with these two.”

Verstappen’s contract doesn’t run out until the end of the 2028, but it’s wiඣdely understood he has a number of exit clauses in his contract.
