If you were Toto Wolff, would you sign Max Verstappen to replace George Russell?

No

О лучший!

I wouldn’t sign him because I think Kimi is the present and the future

mike719wright3mo ago

It’s a no brainer! The pairing would be miles better than Hamilton and Rosberg

stewartsmith9563mo ago

No there would be to much trouble between the to drivers

xmcnst2793mo ago

YES ! I would sign Maximum Max !

stttrangerthings73mo ago

No George has been with mercedes for years. And toto has been eyeing max for a long time, and we all know Max is sticking with redbull. Why even say yes to that quiestion

examinationdepartmentuslls3mo ago

Whoever wrote this article is a Verstappen hater or what? Mercedes would kick George out immediately if Max wanted to sign. Even Mclaren had negotiations to sign Max. Saying Max doesn't have options is just delusion

Max in a red car???

mattshark113mo ago

No. The team will work better with a clearly dominant Antonelli. If they bring in Max it'll split priorities. Right now they'll win both categories and new blood can set as many records as possible doing it. Russell's car has given up on him multiple times, Verstappen would be absolutely ballistic in his shoes.

callum_boyle3mo ago

He’s wanted Verstappen for so long but the ship has set sail now. Antonelli is the future and you want to put your focus on him. Verstappen would overshadow that. Right now, Russell is the perfect partner for Antonelli to learn from while also compete with

agreed

aaditya.krishnamurthy3mo ago

I don’t see how you can look at Russell this season and not jump at the chance to sign Verstappen. It’s not just because Max is generational, but Russell has squandered a golden opportunity

jamesshearman233mo ago

Would you want Michael Jordan on your basketball team? He might ruffle a few feathers but he’s the best in the world. Simple as that.

walkercharlie8283mo ago

No. If there's anything that can destroy Kimi Antonelli it's having Max as a teammate

jamesshearman233mo ago

If Kimi is THAT guy, Max won’t destroy him

ahambly233mo ago

My view is a resounding no. Wolff has always wanted Verstappen, but Antonelli has made it clear that he has the potential to surpass the Dutchman's talents if given the right car. Bringing Verstappen into the fold would only make things even more complex for Wolff in terms of driver management.

adnan.riaz3mo ago

I think Max would be a pretty sound call right now.

kyle.archer3mo ago

If I were Toto Wolff, the answer would be yes as he has wanted to sign Max Verstappen for more than a decade. But if I were in Wolff's shoes, the answer would be no and I'd be building Mercedes around Antonelli

david.comerford3mo ago

It's a tough one, but I'd lean yes. If Mercedes' rivals catch up, Verstappen will ensure you're still winning the championship. He's worth about three tenths on his own
