However, he is skeptical about the success of his Austrian colleague\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton has decided to make a surprising move to Ferrari at the conclusion of the 2024 season, bringing his 11-year stint with the Brackley-based team to an end. This leaves Wolff with the task of finding a replacement for a driver who won six of his seven F1 drivers\u2019 titles with the Silver Arrows.<\/p>\n<p>The team is also likely to face a considerable commercial challenge, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/entertainment\/2023\/07\/shakira-prioritizes-fast-tracking-her-relationship-with-lewis-hamilton\/\">Hamilton<\/a> is a well-known figure and has more marketing potential than any of his contemporaries. The only competitor who could potentially match Hamilton\u2019s marketability and talent is Verstappen.<\/p>\n<p>After winning three consecutive titles with Red Bull, Marko anticipates that Wolff might make a move in the forthcoming months. \u201cToto Wolff will try that \u2013 but he will be unsuccessful,\u201d he stated to the German publication Sport.<\/p>\n<p>Marko is of the opinion that Verstappen\u2019s \u201cgood memory\u201d of his interactions with Hamilton and Mercedes, particularly during their notable 2021 title contest, will deter him from ever joining the Silver Arrows. Another important consideration is the contract that the Dutch driver has until the end of the 2028 season.<\/p>\n<p>With five more full seasons under this contract and Red Bull currently leading as the top team in F1, Verstappen is well-positioned to continue his significant success by staying with his current team. Furthermore, there is a chance that he may not sign another F1 contract, even though he will only be 31 when the current agreement ends.<\/p>\n<p>Verstappen has expressed his desire to retire from F1 at a relatively young age. He has admitted that a key factor in that decision, when the time comes, will be whether he still has the equipment to compete for more race wins and championships.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDepends a lot also on the package, right? That\u2019s how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/sports\/2024\/01\/f1-shift-2024-racing-calendar-sees-move-to-saturdays-for-high-speed-showdowns\/\">Formula 1<\/a> works. Personally, I\u2019m still young even though I\u2019m already in F1 for a while. Definitely, I have quite a few more years in me to be able to operate at my best. But yeah, we\u2019ll see how long that is. To be honest, I think it\u2019s more about how long I want to be here. That\u2019s different,\u201d he commented last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDepends how far back on the grid. I know there will be a time when you\u2019re not winning but, yeah, probably when you\u2019re driving P15, maybe not. But if you\u2019re still fighting up front, trying to win races and you have this prospect of coming back to the top, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">Shakira &amp; Lewis Hamilton: Relationship Status Exposed<\/h5>\n<p>Shakira&#8217;s connection with Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton has reportedly moved beyond&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/entertainment\/2023\/08\/shakira-lewis-hamilton-relationship-status-exposed\/\" class=\"post-link\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marko doubts Wolff\u2019s success in luring Verstappen to Mercedes after Hamilton\u2019s departure.
