Toto Wolff addresses Carlos Sainz to Mercedes rumours as 'difficult choice' looms

Toto Wolff admits he has a “difficult choice” to make as he seeks to replace Lewis Hamilton, the team boss saying all Mercedes’ options have “arguments in favour of them”.

Left without a race seat for 2025 after Ferrari’s decision to sign Hamilton, Sainz’s early-season auditions have seen the Spaniard score a podium in Bahrain, before bouncing back from an appendectomy that meant he missed the Saudi Arabian GP to win in Melbourne. “I just want to do a step back and just monitor the situation because some of the guys mentioned may sign for other teams and so just looking at it.”Former F1 driver Giedo van der Garde believes Wolff will “call” Sainz about the 2025 seat, if, and it’s an if, he can’t persuade Max Verstappen to swap Red Bull for Mercedes.
