Vettel to Mercedes? Russell keen to see him come: 'F1 miss him on the grid'

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff makes no secret of preferring to see Max Verstappen as Lewis Hamilton's successor at Mercedes in '25. Whether that is a realistic thought remains to be seen in the coming months. Meanwhile, there are plenty of candidates vying for the seat at the German team. Carlos Sainz is said to be in the picture and youngster Andrea Kimi Antonelli (17) is also believed to be an option. The name of Sebastian Vettel also occasionally comes up in the conversation.
