“There was a reconnaissance in 2026, we will never go to Totos Wortschatz,” says the former Mercedes-Pilot at AirThere is a saying: “If Max was found – and that is a bull’s eye – then a year later it will be a Shootout against George and Kimi.”

Wolff wants to meet the dream-time World Champion at Brackley in 2025 with a lot. A previous Verstappen’s departure from Red Bull seemed to be due to the internal competition around Team Chief Christian Horner thought about it. Nor Verstappen is one step further for Red Bull.

The argument is that Red Bulls uses big arguments: Bislang is like this, if the WM title grows up from the great Vorsprungs nur Formsache zu sein, mittlerweile hat McLaren the Bulls aber the Rang abgelaufen – and Mercedes seems so less so auch kein Rückschritt more zu sein . Seit Verstappens showed that he had won the Silberpfeile three Mal.

Sollte Verstappen challenged in 2026 with the Mercedes car, and danced for Russell on pressure, Rosberg glaubts. “He has everything to lose,” he said. “There is a team intern who is alone, while Kimi is 18 new and gets into a difficult situation. It is also a small situation for George.”

Der Meinung würde sich auch ex-pilot Martin Brundle anschließen: “Toto his personal investment in Kimi, and if Max is then this Angebote power, George will always be who his Schultern schauen and sich wondern, wo er steht.”

Dabei is Brundle of the Meinung, while Mercedes Verstappen is no longer misunderstood, now that the team is back in the air. “If George and Antonelli have found a couple and taken the track off, then you shouldn’t use more than 50 million people for another driver,” he said.
