Wolff jokes at Zandvoort media session about Verstappen and Mercedes
At Mercedes' traditional Dutch media roundtable at Zandvoort, team boss Toto Wolff made a light-hearted remark about Max Verstappen's Red Bull contract. The session again drew attention for one of Wolff's notable comments to the Dutch press.
Mercedes held its customary media session with Toto Wolff and members of the Dutch press at Zandvoort, an event that has become a regular part of the team's weekend there.
According to the reports, Wolff joked about Max Verstappen's Red Bull deal by saying Mercedes already has him for the most important or "real hero" races. The exchange was presented as a humorous comment during the roundtable.
The reports also noted that these Zandvoort sessions have produced memorable remarks in previous years. As an example, two years ago Wolff was said to have more or less confirmed Kimi Antonelli's Formula 1 promotion before any formal announcement.
