Verstappen jokes about Wolff's 400 km/h claim: 'Toto's engines could!'

"Maybe Toto's engine will," the four-time world champion joked when asked about the Mercedes team principal's claims in conversation with, among others, GPblog.

The FIA is aware of the possible dangers that the new generation of cars may bring. The electric part of the engine will produce almost three times as much power in 2026 as it does now and combined with active aerodynamics and the new override mode, extreme top speeds could be achievable.

Street circuits like Monaco and Singapore are mentioned in particular as locations where the FIA may introduce additional rules to prevent cars from arriving at braking points at too high top speeds.
