Toto Wolff has been hit with criticism from Red Bull’s managing director over his pursuit of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

Verstappen, who will begin Sunday’s F1 Miami Grand Prix from pole position, is Wolff’s dream replacement for Lewis 🗹Hamilton who will go to Ferrari next year.

The chaos off-track at Red Bull - which resulted in Adrian Newey🐻’s shock exit this♕ week - has perhaps given Mercedes hope that they could sensationally lure Verstappen.

But Oliver Mintzlaff, the Austrian brand’s managing dir🐲ector, has stepped into the debate to tell Wolff to back off.

“I understand the pressure that Toto Wolff, and perhaps ot💦her teams, have after years of being behind,” he told .

“But I think Wolff should concentrate on his challenges. He has enoug👍h of those.

“And it also has something to do with respect. If I keep talking about💝 th🌺e personnel of other teams, that's not right.

“Max s൲till has a long-term contract here, and he hasn't said a word that he doesn't want to ful𒊎fil it.

“I'm not at all worried that he💞's consid🔴ering a move.

“Things just have to calm down again now. 🎶That’s what Max wants. And that’s what we wa🔜nt too.

“You need that, if you want to be successful in the long ter🐎m in sport, whether in football or Formula 1.”

Verstappen ha𒐪s a contract with Red Bull until 2028 but, in the days befꦑore the Miami Grand Prix, was the reported subject of a mega-money offer from Mercedes.

Mintzlaff was asked if there💞 was any reason why F1’s champion might want to quit his dominant 𝔉team.

“No. At least I can't think of any,” he replied.

“Max wants the fas🍨test car. We have this. Max wants to become world champion. With us, he has the best chances.

“And Max is a loyal guy. He knows that Christian Horner and Hꦅelmut Marko have always placed their trust in him. He appreciates that.

“In addition, Red Bull is simply a great brand that he can extremely idenꩲtify with. So there are many reasons♚ for staying – and none against.”

Verstappen is on course to wrap up his fourth ch🍒ampionship in a row this year.

But the departureꦏ of chief technical officer Newey has asked questions of the rest of Red Bull’s senior hie😼rarchy.
