Mercedes have started 2025 with George Russell partnering Kimi Antonelli, but both drivers see their current deals expire at the end of the season.

Despite this, Wolff has insisted that his focus is very much on his current lineup and not Verstappen.

"We need to concentrate on our driver line-up," Wolff told the media ahead of the Australian GP.

"I don't flirt outside if I'm in a good relationship, and that is true for this year, too. So at the moment, that is not on any radar.

"I don't plan to shift my concentration away from these guys and make sure that George has some visibility very soon or has a contract very soon."
