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 an𒉰nounced in February.

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 Vওerstappen seemingly no longer an option - at least for now - Wolff has said he💯 will stop with his public affection towards the Dutchman.

“We're sitting back,” he told Motorsport.com. “I think I've expressed it befᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚore, and weღ have a similar view also from Max's side: you've got to put faith in your drivers or in your team. You 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.

“Onl෴y if I want to have a change, or consider a change, I would seek a c🌳onversation. And it is the same on his side. We're pretty aligned in our values on that I think.”

Wolf✤f has insisted that Russell and Antonelli will receive the “same support” and that “noth🍌ing changes” now Hamilton has left.

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

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

“So he will be just fine competing against one o⛦f the youngest, who comes in with great expectations.”
