Max Verstappen and Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff met up during the summer break, something which the 4-time world champion believes "is allowed," as everything is not always about competing.
Verstappen and Wolff met up
Pictures emerged of Verstappen atop Wolff's boat, having a laugh together. Despite claims that this meeting may have had to do with Formula 1, it was a rather innocent gathering between both families with the gathering having included both men's families.
Squashing any potential rumours, Verstappen was unequivocal in his stance about the meeting with Wolff in conversation with ESPN.
"There's no secret. I mean, I even went for lunch with Toto and the family and I think that's absolutely allowed.
"It's not even that you speak about Formula 1 business, it's just life. We parked up next to each other because we were in the same bay to sleep and during the day everyone does their thing.
"But sometimes you meet up and you have a good relationship with people. I think that's nice, that it's not only about competition," Max concluded.
