Toto Wolff Discusses Max Verstappen's Red Bull Deal and GT Racing

Toto Wolff, the Mercedes team principal, recently spoke about the collaboration between Mercedes and Max Verstappen, noting that their paths are intersecting outside of Formula 1. He humorously remarked that through a joint GT3 project, Verstappen will participate in significant races, including the Nurburgring 24 Hours.

During a media session at Zandvoort, Wolff reflected on past discussions regarding Verstappen's potential move to Mercedes and acknowledged that their collaboration in GT racing has been successful. He expressed gratitude for Red Bull's openness to this partnership, which has allowed Verstappen to compete in what he termed the 'real hero races' on challenging tracks.

Wolff also mentioned the unpredictability of the future regarding Verstappen's career path, suggesting that while they may cross paths again, it might not necessarily be in Formula 1. He emphasized the importance of understanding what makes drivers perform well within their team structure.
