Toto Wolffhead of Mercedes in the Formula 1follows closely the career of Max VerstappenHe does not deny that there is interest in having the current three-time world champion in their ranks at some point in the future.
Lewis Hamilton will leave the German team for 2025, as he will try his luck in the Scuderia FerrariThe Dutchman has hinted at a possible exit from Red Bull, although his contract expires in 2028.
Speaking to Fox Sports Australia, Wolff said that a relationship with the "extraordinary" Verstappen "has to happen at some point... We have an opening, the only one in the top teams, unless Max decides to leave. Then the seat will no longer be free with us," he explained.
The approach of Wolff and Mercedes with Verstappen happened since he was a Formula 3 driver, but at that time there was no agreement as he was offered the F2 and Red Bull secured him a place in Toro RossoThe event ended up as an anecdote.
