168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has re♍acted to inꦆterest in acquiring his services from Mercedes.

The internal goings-on at Red Bull this year create💖d the unlikely scenario that they could lose their star man, potentially even to their main rivals.

Mercedes must fi🐭nd a replacement for Lewis Hamilton, who will join Ferrari next year.

And the entire driver market hinges on Verstappen making the final call 🅠over his future.

Hℱis contract, which runs to 2028⛄, does include quit clauses but Verstappen insists he will stay put.

Asked about Toto Wolff’s public declarations of wanting him, Verstappen told : “He can't do ওanything else.

“I understand why 💎he does it. You can't ignore me.

“In the past, even before Red Bull, we had discuss𒈔ions with Mercedes.

“Then they said: you have to do this anꦉd that to become successful♍.

“I think I have now shown how it should be done.

“They want me in that car, I understand that.”

The idea of Verstappen moving to Mercedes is particularly shocking due to the controversial nature of his fꦍirst F🍨1 title, at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and the fallout surrounding it.

“Look: a few years ago there was of course a little more tension between us and Mercedes,” Verstappen ♋said.

He joked: “I🔯 would like to say a ꦑlittle more, yes, haha.

“But tha♑t can all be forgiven and forgotten. That's t✨rue on both sides.

“But t𝓡🍸hat doesn't mean I think I should be driving somewhere else right now.

“In addition, Mercedes 🐷do🦩es not have the fastest car at the moment. That really is the Red Bull.”

Mercedes bos൩s Wolff has claimed Verstappen is top of his wish-list to replac🎃e Hamilton.

“Yes, I mean, you see what his p𝓰erforman♛ce levels are,” he said.

“But I w📖ouldn’t want to discount the other ones 🧜too.

“It’s the kind of rela꧋tionship that needs to happen at a certain stage. But we don’t know when.”

Verstappen led teammate Sergio Perez home for a 1-2 finish at t✱he F1 Japanese Grand Prix.

It is the🔥 third finish, in the same order, for the Red Bull duo in four grands prix this season.
