Have F1 riv𒐪als Max Verstappen and George Russell finally cleared the air followꦦing their fall out?

There still appears to be no love lost between168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: George Russell following their fall out at the end of the 2024 F1 season.
A feud emerged between Verstappen and Russell at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix season finale after the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Red Bull driver claimed Russell had pushed for the grid penalty which cost Verstappen pole position at the prev💖ious round in Qatar.
In Abu Dhabi, Russell claimed Verstappen had threatened to “put me on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:my f***ing head in the wall” and blasted the reigning world champion as a “bully”. Their war of wor♍ds c♍ontinued when Verstappen retaliated by labelling Russell a “backstabber” and a “loser”.
There was an awkward moment when Verstappen and Russell were asked about their spat in the FIA press conference after finishing second and third in Sunday’s season-opening Australian Gr🗹and Prix.
Asked if they had cleared the air, Verstappen flatly joked: “🐻No, it’s still shockingly bad.
The four-time world champion rather unconvincingly𒁏 added: “It’s all good, it’s all good.”
Russell simply responded: “What he said.”
Even if th꧟ey do not fully see eye-to-eye, things have certainly simmerജed down between the pair.
Verstappen to Mercedes off the cards
Verstappen and Russell are unlikely to be teammates at Mercedes, with team boss Toto Wolff revealing at the F1 2025ꦉ curtain-ra💎iser that the reigning world champion is no longer on their radar.
"We need to concentrate on our driver🐷 line-up. I don't flirt outside if ♛I'm in a good relationship,” Wolff said in Melbourne.
"So at the moment that [a move for Verstappen] is not on any radar. I don't plan to shift my concentration away from these guys and [wil🤡l] make sure that George has some visibility very soon, or has a contract very soon.”
Wolff is set to sit down with Russell soon to discuss a new contract, with the 🃏Briton’s current deal expiring at the end of the year.
