Max Verstappen said he can understand why Toto Wolff wants to take him to Mercedes 바카라 but the triple world champion insists it his 바카라intention바카라 to see out his contract with Red Bull. (More Formula One News)
Following Verstappen바카라s ninth consecutive victory in Saudi Arabia earlier this month, Wolff revealed for the first time that he would 바카라love바카라 to sign Verstappen as a replacement for the Ferrari-bound Lewis Hamilton.
Verstappen, 26, is under contract with Red Bull until 2028, but his future is in the spotlight amid the in-fighting at Formula One바카라s dominant team.
And responding to Wolff바카라s comments ahead of Sunday바카라s third round of the season in Australia, Verstappen replied with a smile: 바카라I can understand (why).
바카라It is always nice to hear that. Toto and I have had our moments. That is normal between two teams battling for the championship but the respect has always been there.
바카라From my side it doesn바카라t change anything. I don바카라t know what will happen after 2028, if I will stay in F1, or continue, or sign a new deal (with Red Bull).
바카라But that is why I signed the deal in the first place. I am happy within the team and it is my intention to be here in the end.바카라
Verstappen, who will equal his record of 10 straight wins with another victory this weekend, opened the door to sensationally quitting Red Bull if motorsport adviser Helmut Marko is forced out on the eve of the race in Saudi Arabia a fortnight ago.
Verstappen continued: 바카라It is very important that we try to keep the key players in the team for a longer period of time because that is where the performance is and if I didn바카라t perform I wouldn바카라t be sitting here.
바카라For me, it is a second family. In a family there might some times be disagreements. You cannot choose your family but you can choose friends.
바카라A lot of people have contributed to the success of this team from the start and that has to be respected. It is important to keep them together, happy and in the same roles.
바카라But we just focus on the performance. I would like the chat to be about the great car that we have. Hopefully that will come slowly.바카라
