MERCEDES team principal Toto Wolff has admitted that Red Bull driver Max Verstappen is his No.1 target to replace Lewis Hamilton.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton, 39, will leave Mercedes for Ferrari at the end of this season.
The Silver Arrows have a number of options, but Wolff admits Verstappen (above) is their dream replacement.
Wolff has already made it clear that, should Verstappen follow through on his threat to quit Red Bull if mentor Helmut Marko leaves, the Dutchman, 26, will be his top target.
