168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen has reacted to intere🌊st in acquiring his services fro𒊎m Mercedes.

The internal goings-on at Red Bull this year created the unlikely scenario that they could lose their star man, 💫potentially even to their main rivals.

Mercedes must find a replacement for Lewis Hami♊lton, who will join Ferrari next yeꦗar.

And the entire driver market hinges on Verꦛstappen making the fina෴l call over his future.

His contract, which runs to 2028, does include quit clauses but ♈Verstappen insists he will stay put.

Askﷺed about Toto Wolff’s public declarations of wanting him, Verstappen told : “He can't do anything e🏅lse.

“I under🦩stand why he does it. You can't ignore me.

“In 📖the past, even before Red Bull, we had discussions with Mercedes.

“Then they said: you have to do this anওd that to become successful.

“I think I have now shown how it should be done.

“They want me in that car, I understand that.”

The idea of Vers🉐tappen moving to Mercedes is particularly shocking due to the controversial nature of his first F1 title, at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and the fallout surrounding it.

༺“Look: a few years ago there was of 𒈔course a little more tension between us and Mercedes,” Verstappen said.

He joked: “I would like to say a little more, yeও🐷s, haha.

“But that can all ꦍbe forgiven and forgotten. That's true on both siꩲdes.

“But that doesn't mean﷽ I think I should be driving somewhere else right now.

“I♔n addition, Mercedes does not have the fastest car at the moment. That really is the Red Bull.”

Mercedes boss Wolff has claimed Verstappen is top of his 🍒wish-list to r😼eplace Hamilton.

“Yes, I mean, you see what 𝐆his performance levels are,” h♋e said.

“But I wouldn’t want to discount the other ones to🃏🌟o.

“It’s the kind of relationshi🐠p that needs to happen at a certain stage. But w🧔e don’t know when.”

Verstapp🏅en led teammate Sergio Perez home for a 1-2 finish at the F1 🐼Japanese Grand Prix.

It is the third finish, in the same order, for the Red Bull duo in four grands prix this seaso♚n.
