Toto Wolff has been hit with criticism from Red Bull’s managing director over his pursuit of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen.

Verstappen, who will begin Sunday’s F1 Miami Grand Prix from pole position, is Wolff’s dream replacement for Lewis Hamilton🍸 who will go to Ferrari next year.

The𓆏 chaos off-track at Red Bull - which resulted in Adrian Newey’s shock exit this week - has perhaps given Mercedes hope that they could sensationally lure Verstappen.

But Oliver Mintzlaff, the Austrian brand’s managing director, has stepped into the debate to tell Wo💎lff to back off.

“I understand the pressure that Toto Wolff, and perhaps other teams, have aಞfter years of being behind,” he told 🍬.

“But I think Wolff shoul🎃d concentrate on his challenges. He has enough of those.

“And it also has somet꧋hing to doꦕ with respect. If I keep talking about the personnel of other teams, that's not right.

“Max sti🌌ll 📖has a long-term contract here, and he hasn't said a word that he doesn't want to fulfil it.

“I'm not𓆏 at all worried that he's consཧidering a move.

“Things just have to ca♚lm down again now. That’s what Max wants. 🎃And that’s what we want too.

“You need that, if y🎉ou want to be successful in the long♍ term in sport, whether in football or Formula 1.”

Verstappen has a contract with Red Bull until 2028 but, in the days before t🅷he Miami Grand Prix, was the reported suᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚbject of a mega-money offer from Mercedes.

Mintzlaff was asked if there was any reason why F1’s champion might want to quit hi🤪s dominant✅ team.

“No. At least I can't think of any,” he replied.

“Max wants the fastest car. We have this. Max wants to become world champion. With us, he has the best cha🗹nces.

“And Max is a loyal guy. He ♓knows that Christian Horner and Helmut Marko have❀ always placed their trust in him. He appreciates that.

“In addition, Red Bull is simply a great brand that he can extremely identify with. So there are many reasons for staying – and none a🌱gainst.”

Verstappen is on course to wrap up his fourth championship in a row this yea✃r.

But the departure of chief technical officerಞ Newey has asked questions of the rest of Red Bull’s𝓀 senior hierarchy.
