Guenther Steiner: Toto Wolff è troppo intelligente per ingaggiare Verstappen

L'ex team principal della Haas Guenther Steiner ha respinto le speculazioni su un possibile approdo di Max Verstappen in Mercedes al fianco di Kimi Antonelli.

Steiner ha rilasciato queste dichiarazioni durante il podcast The Red Flags, commentando le voci secondo cui Verstappen potrebbe sostituire George Russell in Mercedes. Egli ha sostenuto che il team principal Toto Wolff non creerebbe una competizione interna ingaggiando l'attuale campione. Steiner ha affermato che Wolff ha già in Antonelli il più grande talento futuro dello sport. La Mercedes ha vinto finora ogni Gran Premio della stagione 2026, con Antonelli che ha ottenuto cinque vittorie consecutive. Wolff aveva già smentito le speculazioni in un'intervista di marzo, confermando i contratti a lungo termine per entrambi gli attuali piloti.
