Asked about it at an event in New York on Monday night for team partner WhatsApp, with a race car emoji projected onto the Empire State Building lit up in green, Wolff told Reuters Television:"No, that’s one of the rumours. Verstappen is cruising towards his fourth successive title with Red Bull, having won four of five races so far this season, despite internal divisions resulting from a female employee's allegations of inappropriate behaviour against team boss Christian Horner.

"Adrian Newey is an iconic engineer in Formula One with a great track record and again, also there are so many people talking about what he eventually might do and whether he leaves Red Bull or not," said Wolff.Mercedes are bringing an upgrade package to Miami after a patchy season so far. Hamilton is due to take the wheel at a Formula One demonstration run on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue on Tuesday.
