Mercedes are willing to pay 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s extortionate F1 salary as they look to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton for 2025.

According to reputable German publication , the finances it would take to sign Verstappen🐈 have been “approved” by Mercedes internally.

They would be prepared to wait - even if it means missing out on signing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso.

Alonso has now recommitted ꧅himself to Aston Martin by pennin𝔍g a long-term contract.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has pu🐟blicly made clear t🌟hat he would love to sign Verstappen for 2025.

Wolff’s desire to ♔sign Verstappen wa꧟s ignited by the drama stemming from the drama surrounding Christian Horner at Red Bull.

Reports of an internal struggle or ‘civil war’ led to speculation that Verstappen might de♒cide to 🌌jump ship, particularly if Helmut Marko is ousted.

Verstappen currently has a contract until the end of 2028 but would be ♌allowed to leave Red Bull if Marko left his role within the team.

As a result, Mercedes are on standby to sign the reigning world cham𒉰pion.

Mercedes’ on-track performance makes a 🐲move for Verstappen less realistic, and relies on Red Bull combusting internally.

The Brackley-based outfit are reportedly willing to pay $55 million base salary and any bonuses🍃 on top of that.

Mercedes would also be willing to hand Verstappen a long term ambassadorial role, e🉐nsuring Verstappen would be looked after once he called time on his F1 career.

Aston Maဣrtin remain a factor, with Lawrence Stroll keen on luring Adrian Newey away from Red Bull as “bait” for Verstappen.

Stroll has been prepare💞d to spend big at Aston Martin and the signing of Newey would only make them more app🦄ealing.

Honda will supply Aston Martin with engines from 2026 - another factor that could tempt Verstappen given his success with Red Bull has been aided by the Japanese ♔manufacturer.
