## Resource

Guenther Steiner drops a bold take: Mercedes’ Toto Wolff is too smart to even consider signing Max Verstappen, calling it a financially reckless move that would disrupt their solid foundation with George Russell. Steiner argues Verstappen’s arrival would cost a fortune and risk team harmony — not the kind of gamble Wolff would make when he’s got a winning formula already in place.
