“I’m prepared to compromise in certain decisions"
Hamilton will go to Ferrari in 2025 meaning Wolff must make the colossal call of how to replace a seven-time F1 champion.Carlos Sainz, who is a free agent because Hamilton will take his Ferrari drive next year, is an obvious candidate.
“I think Carlos has his place in Formula 1,” Wolff said after the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola.“I’m prepared to compromise in certain decisions, and to wait how the situation ends up over the summer and into autumn.“And then let’s see who is going to be his teammate. But we don’t need to take this decision now.”
But the likelihood of Verstappen leaving Red Bull, where he is on course for a fourth F1 title this season, in 2025 seems remote at this stage.The teenager is driving in Formula 2 this year, but has been thrust into several tests of Mercedes F1 cars to assess his speed.“He will be very good and a great driver one day in F1, but he’s 17.“And there’s so much expectation in Italy. We are a little bit guilty also of that.
