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.

However, a year later the new F1 ꦬregulations will kick in creating a new playing field.

The potential for a dominant era to begin from 2026 means that M♏ercedes could again dream of luring Verstappen.

Wolff was asked at the F1 Dutch Gran🧸d Prix about 🦋never being able to convince Verstappen to move.

“I don’t think it’s a disappointment🌃♒,” he told Sky Sports.

“Max is a great driver.

“We need to concentrate on our drive𝄹rs. George [Russell] is doing a mega j𒅌ob.

“Whoever will be in the second car,🅠 we will focus on, and not think about what cඣould be in the future.

“I’d like ✤to make it work with George and the new driver.”

Wolff refused to confirm who🙈 will re൩place Hamilton in 2025.

However, all signs po♈int to Andrea Kimi Antonelli - their exceptionally gifted teenage prospect.

“We have done lots o𝕴f Formula 1 testing with him,” Wolff said.

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

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

Wolff joked: “If it doesn’t? I told him we’re doing the Rena🔴ult Clio Cup next year!”

Antonelli, 18, is set to get the nod to replace Hamilton at Merc🐷edes next year after a long-running saga to select a new driver.

Placing faith on 🎐Antonelli’s y𒆙oung shoulders is comparable to Red Bull’s faith in Verstappen when he was also a teenager.

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

I think it’s a mistake,” Eddie Jordan has ꧟claimed.

“You are putting incredible pressure on him.”
