SKOR.idMercedes sudah menghentikan upaya mengejar juara dunia tiga kali Formula 1 Max Verstappen. Menurut Prinsipal Tim Toto Wolff, Silver Arrows kini akan fokus kepada pembalap mereka.

Setelah Lewis Hamilton memilih hengkang dan merapat ke Ferrari mulai F1 2025, Mercedes sibuk mencari pengganti sekaligus tandem baru untuk George Russell. Verstappen masuk dalam daftar yang diincar.

Namun, pada akhirnya, pabrikan Jerman tersebut memutuskan mempromosikan pembalap muda binaan mereka, Andrea Kimi Antonelli sebagai rekan setim Russell pada musim depan. 

Dengan komposisi skuad yang sudah lengkap, Silver Arrows tidak lagi berusaha mendatangkan Verstappen. Wolff dan kubu bintang Red Bull Racing itu diketahui telah membahas soal kemungkinan kerja sama.

Tetapi karena pembicaraan tidak mencapai titik temu, ditambah Mercedes makin terkesan dengan progres Antonelli, minat untuk merekrut Verstappen pun memudar.

Menjelang F1 GP Italia di Sirkuit Monza, 31 Agustus lalu, Mercedes secara resmi mengumumkan Andrea Kimi Antonelli bakal diangkat sebagai pengganti Hamilton mulai musim 2025. 

Dengan mempromosikan Kimi Antonelli, yang baru berusia 18 tahun, Mercedes tampaknya memilih fokus untuk memulai proyek jangka panjang. Mereka tentu berharap duetnya dan Russell bertahan lama.

“Saya rasa saya pernah mengungkapkan ini sebelumnya, dan kami juga punya pandangan sama dari pihak Max: Anda harus menaruh kepercayaan pada pembalap atau tim Anda,” ujar Wolff dikutip dari Motorsport.

“Anda perlu memberikan dukungan maksimal Anda untuk bisa membuatnya sukses. Dan hanya jika kondisi benar-benar buruk, Anda akan mempertimbangkan cara lain.”

“Hanya jika saya ingin membuat perubahan, atau mempertimbangkan perubahan, saya akan membuka negosiasi. Dan ini berlaku sama di pihaknya (Verstappen). Kami cukup selaras dalam nilai-nilai tentang itu.”

Toto Wolff melihat George Russell dan Andrea Kimi Antonelli sebagai bagian integral dari Mercedes untuk bertahun-tahun. Menurutnya, keduanya akan menikmati tantangan baru bersaing satu sama lain.

“George  memiliki jalan yang mirip dalam hal gokart dan formula junior (dengan Antonelli). George adalah (pembalap) binaan Mercedes pertama yang bergabung dengan kami,” kata Wolff.

“Kami tidak membuat perbedaan besar. Secara emosional, kami memberikan mereka dukungan yang sama. Tak ada yang berubah. Setiap pembalap di F1 tahun mereka perlu bersaing dengan rekan setimnya.”

“Rekan setim George (saat ini) adalah Lewis Hamilton, pembalap terhebat sepanjang masa, selama tiga tahun. Jadi, dia akan baik-baik saja bersaing dengan yang lebih muda, yang datang dengan harapan besar.”
