But Horner later suggested that Mercedes is trying to168澳洲5最新开奖结果: prevent Albon from moving to ♈its custome🦩r team and claimed Albon has received 𒀰multiple phone calls from the German manufacturer trying to pe💧rsuade him not to join.
“I would never block someone like Alex Albon,” said Wolff in re𒁃sponse to the notion.
“He’s a fantastic guy, personality is great. I was pers🐬onally sad to see him going. And if he has a chance in a Formula 1 car, I think that’s the right thing to do.
“But equally, ma𝓡ybe Nyck has. So we need to look at the open spaces at Alfa and 🍎at Williams and try to find a solution.”

Wolff also confirmed he is seeking an opportunity for Mercedes junior and recently-crowned Formula E world champion, 💎Nyck de Vries, to join the F1 grid, adding he currently has a “50/50” chance of getting a drive.
“I think it’s the ordinary 🌃course of business,” Wolff said. “Williams has a Mercedes eng🌜ine, that is clear, and we have Nyck de Vries, a Dutch driver that deserves to be in Formula 1 equally.
“With Nyck I am in two minds. He won us the Formula E wor🀅ld champ💝ionship most recently. I guess this is two interest groups that just have to find a solution.
“The great thing is that he has two options. He has the guaranteed seat in Formula E, which is a really tough championship, and on the otꦕher side the maybe 50/50 chance to be in a Formula 1 car.”
