Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff insists he will not be rushed into making a driver decision for next year, as speculation ramps up that Max Verstappen could be on his radar.

Following Lewis Hamilton's shock decision to join Ferrari, Mercedes is on the lookout for a replacement to line up alongside George Russell from 2025. There is no shortage of candidates available, with a range of initial options going from Mercedes junior Andrea Kimi Antonelli, to more experienced drivers like Carlos Sainz, Alex Albon and Fernando Alonso.

'I think you can look at him against the team-mate, that is one of the comparisons, and I think Oliver Bearman is a top driver.
