Plan B for Antonelli?
Wolff on rumors: “I’m not flirting outside”
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has responded to rumors that the racing team has a plan B up its sleeve if Andrea Kimi Antonelli is unable to assert himself in Formula 1. "I'm not flirting outside," the Viennese clarified.
Antonelli and George Russell will compete for Mercedes in the upcoming Formula 1 season. And Team Principal Wolff also has full confidence in this constellation, as he now affirms: "You have to have confidence in your drivers. You have to give your drivers maximum support in order to be successful".
Verstappen currently no longer an issue
Wolff is therefore relaxed about rumors about an alleged plan B if Antonelli is not yet able to convince in the "premier class", or even whether they are still interested in signing Max Verstappen.
However, the 52-year-old is leaving a back door open. "Only if things really go wrong will we consider other options," he says meaningfully. However, he will not continue to talk to Verstappen about a switch: "That's like flirting while you're making your relationship work. It doesn't work, I don't flirt outside," Wolff clarifies.
