'Behind closed doors,' Toto Wolff breaks silence on his rumored Miami meeting with Max Verstappen regarding a Mercedes deal

He admitted that such things should only happen behind closed doors.

No, that's one of the rumors. People make up meetings, make up what happens to the drivers, but these things should happen behind closed doors and everything that has been brought out was not really correct. Toto Wolff said in an interview with Reuters

The reigning world champion has amassed immense interest from Mercedes because of the ongoing internal turmoil at Red Bull. In recent times it has come to light that Red Bull stalwart, Adrian Newey , is on the verge of making a shocking exit from the team.

Toto Wolff has huge respect for Red Bull mastermind Adrian Newey

While Wolff is rumored to have a meeting with Max Verstappen during the upcoming Miami GP weekend, he has recently showered immense praise on Adrian Newey. Wolff genuinely feels that the 65-year-old is an absolute legend on F1.

Newey has been with Red Bull since the 2006 season of the sport.

Adrian Newey is an iconic engineer in Formula 1 with a great track record and again, there are also so many people talking about what he might end up doing and whether he leaves Red Bull or not. Toto Wolff said in the same interview

The 2024 F1 season is only five rounds down and the sport has so far amassed more hype for the off-track shenanigans than what has been happening on the track. Keeping in view everything that has been discussed, the upcoming weeks will be extremely fascinating as they could help in determining where Newey and Max ultimately end up for next year.
