Wolff foreshadows Mercedes line-up? 'Want it to work with George and Kimi'

Meanwhile, Toto Wolff is at peace with the idea of Max Verstappen not joining Mercedes' team next year. However, the team principal does hope - and suspect - he will still work with the Dutchman in the future. Everything points to Andrea Kimi Antonelli becoming George Russell's new teammate next year - including a 'slip of the tongue' from Wolff himself. However, Mercedes denies that the 17-year-old talent is already a certainty for 2025.
