Toto Wolff has spoken out on Max Verstappen potentially joining Mercedes.
Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari from the 2025 season sparked rumours of Verstappen replacing the seven-time world champion at Mercedes.
However, Kimi Antonelli will partner George Russell next term.
Speaking on this rumours, Wolff said on the High Performance Podcast: "We get on very well, not always in the visibility of the public eye.
"I've known Jos [Verstappen, Max's father] for a long time. He's my age, we have similar views on racing.
"And I wouldn't want the year 2021 to put any shadow on any personal relationship that we have. It was bad enough that year, but the relationships are intact."
"It feels natural now to go to the next generation," he continued.
"Max is a great driver and an interesting personality, and God knows what happens in the future, but having Kimi and George in the car, homegrown, real Mercedes juniors that delivered every step of their career that we supported - I'm very much looking forward to that situation."
