“Maybe there is a window. But 2026 is our main year where lots of things will change."
Mercedes’ top management have been vocal in wanting to bring Verstappen to the team asWhile Andrea Kimi Antonelli is set to join the team next year, Mercedes are holding out to see whether they could sign F1’s reigning world champion.
However, Wolff concedes that signing Verstappen for 2025 is unlikely given Red Bull have an “ultra dominant” car. “The car is ultra dominant. Maybe he will win every race. A driver will always seek that machine. That has changed over the past few weeks and months.“I think it could be attractive to drive with us. But whether it’s Max, and whether he can get out of his contract? I don’t know.”Wolff thinks if Mercedes produce a quick car in 2026, it’ll be much easier to attract Verstappen irrespective of any release clause in his contract.
“But I am not relying on that. I look at ourselves - a quick car is what will attract the attention of a quick driver. That is our main priority. These driver movements are not the end of the story.”was a potential option for Mercedes with Wolff describing him as “massively underrated”.
