Toto Wolff, director of Mercedes, commented at a recent media session in Zandvoort about Max Verstappen’s new contract with Red Bull, pointing out that their paths have already crossed, although not in Formula 1. Wolff mentioned that unlike last year, the chances of a change were higher, but that Verstappen’s and his paths have met in the world of GT racing.
Wolff said: “The paths have already crossed with GT racing. When we jointly developed this program a year and a half ago, it seemed a distant dream. But Red Bull was open to the idea, and we are grateful, as the project has been a success”.
The comments include a mention of endurance racing at Nordschleife, which Wolff describes as the “true hero races”, referring to the excitement of competing in difficult conditions like fog and rain.
On the other hand, Wolff expressed that he cannot predict whether there will be collaboration between him and Verstappen in the future in Formula 1, given the uncertainty of the driver market. “It could be in karting, GTs, Formula 1 or in other joint projects, but perhaps not necessarily with Max in Mercedes’ F1 car,” he concluded.
