Toto Wolff hints at Max Verstappen secret contract clause to replace Lewis Hamilton

Toto Wolff believes Max Verstappen has not closed the door on a move to Mercedes. Verstappen signed a new four-year contract extension with Red Bull last month and ended all speculation regarding a potential move to Mercedes. However, Wolff reckons the 22-year-old could still be available to replace Lewis Hamilton should the Brit opt to join Ferrari. Ferrari starlet Charles Leclerc also recently signed a five-year deal after impressing in his first year with the Italian manufacturer and Wolff hinted there could be exit clauses for both drivers. “I would be surprised if both of these young drivers have committed to their teams for five years and closed the door to everywhere else,” he told Auto Motor und Sport. “Contracts are often more complex than the media portrays.” Source: Express
