Guenther Steiner juge Toto Wolff trop intelligent pour recruter Verstappen

L'ancien directeur de l'écurie Haas, Guenther Steiner, a balayé les spéculations selon lesquelles Max Verstappen pourrait rejoindre Mercedes aux côtés de Kimi Antonelli.

Steiner a tenu ces propos dans le podcast The Red Flags alors qu'il était interrogé sur les rumeurs suggérant que Verstappen pourrait remplacer George Russell chez Mercedes. Il a fait valoir que le directeur d'écurie Toto Wolff ne créerait pas de rivalité interne en recrutant le champion en titre. Steiner a ajouté que Wolff possède déjà le plus grand talent futur de la discipline en la personne d'Antonelli. Mercedes a remporté tous les Grands Prix de la saison 2026 jusqu'à présent, Antonelli ayant décroché cinq victoires consécutives. Wolff avait déjà rejeté ces spéculations lors d'une interview en mars, confirmant les contrats à long terme de ses deux pilotes actuels.
