Because Toto Wolff is a fan. Huge fan.

It took but a few inhaalacties before the rumor mill is in full swing exploded, every top team and his mother was interested in the highlight of this Formula 1 season. Were mainly Ferrari and Mercedes are frequently referred to as Max Verstappens new employer. For Martin Brundle, it was already a foregone conclusion: the name Max is in 2017 on the flags of the tifosi.

Where everyone just went by is that Max is a long-term contract with Red Bull Racing, which would, of course, prefer to choose their own within the ranks.

Meeting with Toto

But then there was The Meeting where everyone in the F1 currently has. Jos Verstappen and Raymond Vermeulen, the manager of Max Verstappen, visited Saturday the motorhome from Mercedes, for a meeting with team boss Toto Wolff. That says, of course, not so much, Toto and Jos go after all way back. But with the threat of Red Bull to have two teams to pull back if they don’t have decent motors, and the fact that Max’s manager was there, and is there yet another twist to the conversation. That are not just about voluptuous gridmeisjes had.

In a Q&A on the site of the Formula 1 confirms Toto that there is a meeting it was. He does the first as a ‘cosy cup of coffee with us Jos. When prompted “are you sure? If you were having a nice talk over coffee, why bring his manager?” replies Toto, however, “No, not sure!”.

So if top teams next year, a third car is allowed to bet… Well, draw yourself the conclusions.
