Mercedes denies interest in Verstappen.
Max Verstappen participated in the "24 Hours of Nürburgring" marathon driving a Mercedes-AMG GT3, which led to a new wave of rumors about the possible move of the four-time world champion to Mercedes in Formula 1. However, the team's deputy principal, Bradley Lord, denied these assumptions.
Bradley Lord: "We are talking about completely different things. On one hand, customer motorsport, on the other – Formula 1. And if for Max, Mercedes is the preferred choice for participating in GT racing, we are only happy about it, as he competes for victory in the 24-hour marathon behind the wheel of a competitive car.
To consider participating in GT racing with Mercedes as a bridge to the Mercedes Formula 1 team is a very strong oversimplification of the situation. Fundamentally, these two series have little in common. But I understand the attempt to speculate on this topic.
All I can do is repeat the words of Toto Wolff, said earlier this year. We have two drivers piloting our two cars, and they are the preferred choice, as both come from the Mercedes system."
