Guenther Steiner: Toto Wolff ist zu klug für einen Verstappen-Transfer

Der ehemalige Haas-Teamchef Guenther Steiner hat Spekulationen zurückgewiesen, wonach Max Verstappen an der Seite von Kimi Antonelli zu Mercedes wechseln könnte.

Steiner äußerte sich dazu im The Red Flags Podcast, während er Gerüchte kommentierte, Verstappen könnte George Russell bei Mercedes ersetzen. Er argumentierte, dass Teamchef Toto Wolff keine interne Konkurrenz durch die Verpflichtung des amtierenden Weltmeisters schaffen würde. Steiner betonte, dass Wolff mit Antonelli bereits das größte Zukunftstalent des Sports unter Vertrag habe. Mercedes hat bisher jeden Grand Prix der Saison 2026 gewonnen, wobei Antonelli fünf Siege in Folge errang. Wolff hatte die Spekulationen bereits in einem Interview im März zurückgewiesen und die langfristigen Verträge beider aktueller Fahrer bestätigt.
