Mercedes has signed Kimi for 2025. He will replace Hamilton. That's some really big shoes to fill for a kid of 18.

Good luck to him, love to see new talent in a front running car.

Great first name too

Toto told media he's given Kimi only a one year contract because he's still wanting to see if he can get Max

Wolff has clearly said to focus on Russell and Antonelli ever since the decision was taken. No "flirting outside" (other drivers), he confirmed in an interview with formula1.com yesterday. Listen from 09:27 onwards (final question):

So the "because he's still wanting to see if he can get Max" is made up by the press.

As much as Wolff thinks he can buy up any driver he wants with a departing Hamilton he can only get an unproven 18 YO quite easily and his vast amounts of money to have a 'top' driver is meaningless to someone like MAX and some others with his conditions, whether his chase for MAX was made up by the press or not.
