Guenther Steiner diz que Toto Wolff é inteligente demais para contratar Verstappen

O ex-chefe da equipe Haas, Guenther Steiner, descartou especulações de que Max Verstappen poderia se juntar à Mercedes ao lado de Kimi Antonelli.

Steiner fez os comentários no The Red Flags Podcast enquanto abordava rumores de que Verstappen poderia substituir George Russell na Mercedes.

Ele argumentou que o chefe da equipe, Toto Wolff, não criaria competição interna ao contratar o atual campeão. Steiner disse que Wolff já tem o maior talento futuro do esporte em Antonelli.

A Mercedes venceu todos os Grandes Prêmios da temporada de 2026 até agora, com Antonelli garantindo cinco vitórias consecutivas. Wolff já havia rejeitado as especulações em uma entrevista em março, confirmando contratos de longo prazo para ambos os pilotos atuais.
