Toto Wolff and Red Bull partner Christian Horner have reignited their conflict of words over Max Verstappen after the Mercedes manager again indicated poaching the three-time title holder. Verstappen’s future at Red Bull was tossed into uncertainty last month after his dad, Jos, said the group was at risk of being “destroyed” assuming Horner remained its head. It came after claims against Horner of an unseemly way of behaving towards a lady partner. He denied the cases, and an inside examination got him free from bad behavior.
Verstappen has freely dedicated his future to Red Bull; however, following the Dutchman’s prevailing triumph at the Chinese Stupendous Prix on Sunday, Mercedes manager Wolff mixed the pot again.
Wolff told correspondents in Shanghai that “everybody is standing by to see what he (Verstappen) will do.”.
“There are such countless elements that assume a part for a driver joining,” said Wolff, who requires to supplant seven-time title holder Lewis Hamilton, who is leaving for Ferrari one year from now.
“Obviously, according to the most sane perspective, that is the fastest vehicle in the possession of the speediest driver,” said Wolff.
“In any case, I don’t think this is the main reason you stay where you are.”
Recently, Wolff said that he “would adore” signing the dominant title holder, Verstappen, assuming he opened up.
His most recent remarks set off a thorny reaction from Horner, who said that Wolff ought to zero in on attempting to renew Mercedes following an unfortunate beginning to the season due to their exclusive requirements.
“How could you need to leave this group?” Horner said.
“Mercedes are third behind their clients (McLaren and Aston Martin).
“His time would be better spent maybe zeroing in on the group as opposed to the driver market.
“I can guarantee you that there is no vagueness about where Max Verstappen will be one year from now.”
