Woo Max Verstappen the Mercedes way. Toto Wolff & George Russell back VER in F1 title fight.

George Russell, usually one of Max Verstappen’s fiercest critics, openly admitted Red Bull-Max Verstappen could win F1 2025 Drivers’ Championship.

If you ask us we are not so sure as George, especially in Singapore; a circuit that’s haunted Red Bull for years.

Is Mercedes softening the blow, throwing shade at McLaren, or genuinely rating Red Bull’s resurgence? Or is there a future play with Mercedes and Toto Wolff continuing to woo Max Verstappen?

We unpack the quote, its timing, and the ripple effect across the paddock. It’s not often George and Max end up on the same page, that alone makes this moment worth dissecting.
