    Since the news of Lewis Hamilton leaving Mercedes broke out, Toto Wolff has been talking a lot about his potential replacements. Wanting to bring in a top driver, Wolff has often discussed the possibility of bringing Max Verstappen on board Mercedes. In an interview with De Limburger, the Dutchman addressed the same. Verstappen also revealed how things have changed between him and the Silver Arrows.

    Verstappen claimed it wasn’t the first time Mercedes showed interest in him. Before he became a Red Bull driver, Verstappen’s camp often held conversations with Mercedes. The team gave him several goals to achieve so he could call himself successful. Having proven his worth now, Verstappen now looks back at the years when he shared “a little more tension” with Mercedes. To De Limburger, Verstappen spoke about these tensions.

    “A little more I would like to say yes, haha. But that can all be forgiven and forgotten. That is the case from both sides. But that doesn’t mean I think I should drive somewhere else now.” 

    Mercedes (especially Wolff) and Verstappen have been at each other’s throats a lot over the years. Things heated up significantly following the 2021 season when Verstappen beat Hamilton for the world championship under controversial circumstances, leading to enmity between the two camps. However, the rivalry isn’t as significant now, especially since Red Bull and Mercedes are worlds apart in terms of performance.

    Red Bull won two constructors’ championships in the last two years. Meanwhile, Mercedes hasn’t even won two races in the tenure. Furthermore, Verstappen has been breaking one record after another, while Hamilton is yet to win a race since 2021. Hence, for Mercedes to bring Verstappen on board, they first need to turn their luck around and become a winning outfit again.

    Toto Wolff willing to pull off stunts to please Max Verstappen

    Given the unrest at Red Bull, doubts surround the future of Verstappen in Milton Keynes. Despite having a contract till 2028, chances are Verstappen might look to step away from the team earlier. Speaking about the possibility of the move, Wolff knows he first needs to improve the Mercedes car. They need good equipment before dreaming of a future with a driver as good as Verstappen.

    Wolff added team principals would be willing to go above and beyond to have Verstappen in their car. “Let’s word it like this. It is a decision that Max [Verstappen] needs to take, and there is no team up and down the grid who wouldn’t do handstands to have him in their car.”

    However, Wolff is not in favor of jumping the gun. He wants to stay patient and assess how the driver market develops before deciding upon a replacement. As for Verstappen, the 3X world champion commands a lot of respect from the grid. Given his prowess in an F1 car, the 26-year-old would immediately make any team contenders for the championship, granted they have a fast car.

    Brooklyn Beckham was pictured wearing his father’s number seven England shirt when he and wife Nicola Peltz went for a walk around Los Angeles on Sunday.

    The newlywed couple kept their outfits simple as they strolled the streets enjoying their time together and were accompanied by their fluffy white pup, Lamb, who they welcomed to their family in October.

    This casual outing came only a few days after the pair shared their ‘week in looks’ with Vogue, which added up to over $80,000 worth of lavish pieces.

    He is the son of former professional soccer player David Beckham, and his mom is Victoria Beckham, famously known as Posh Spice of the Spice Girls.

    The budding chef paired the jersey with blue jeans, white sneakers, and a black baseball cap, which he wore backward.

    Despite hitting the town in casual looks, the couple also knows how to amp up the style factor.

    The outing comes after heiress Nicola claimed ‘no family is perfect’ as she addressed claims of a feud with her mother-in-law in an October interview with The Times.

    The star, who previously confirmed that the rumours had begun after she didn’t wear Victoria’s wedding dress design when she tied the knot with Brooklyn, doubled down on the claims.

    But she denied that the frosty tensions were a ‘feud’ and explained that the Victoria ‘s atelier simply hadn’t had time to make the dress, as she insisted: ‘No family is perfect.’

    Nicola said: ‘It’s not a feud! I keep seeing everywhere that word, “feud, feud, feud!?” I mean, maybe they picked up on something? And now they’re labelling it feud?’

    ‘I think it all started, and I’ve said this before, because I didn’t end up wearing Victoria’s wedding dress, but the real truth is, I really, really wanted to wear it and I thought it was so beautiful that Brooklyn’s mom got to make that for me! And I was really excited to wear it! And I didn’t end up wearing it.’

    Flaunting: The couple recently shared their 'week in looks' with Vogue, which added up to over $80,000 worth of lavish pieces

    She went on to say: ‘But I, truthfully, was really excited to wear her dress. It makes me sad when I read things that people say I was never planning on wearing it. That’s just not true.’

    This is not the first time Nicola has dismissed the feud narrative and said that she believes it all started when she opted for Valentino couture instead of Victoria’s design.

    She told Variety: ‘I was going to and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realized that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress.

    ‘She didn’t say you can’t wear it; I didn’t say I didn’t want to wear it. That’s where it started.’

    Brooklyn, in a rather muted defence, added: ‘Everyone gets along, which is good.’

    However, Victoria did manage to dress herself and other loved ones in designs from her eponymous fashion label -including BFF Eva Longoria, mother Jackie Adams and son Romeo’s then-girlfriend Mia Regan.

    Elsewhere in the interview, Nicola gushed over her ‘legend’ father-in-law David Beckham, and described 11-year-old Harper as the ‘coolest little sister’.

    And on Wednesday, Nicola and Brooklyn flaunted their designer clothes as they appeared in a video with Vogue and put together a week of looks.

    How brand Brooklyn Beckham has amassed £5 million in just one year | Daily  Mail Online

    His parents have accrued a vast fortune capitalising on their celebrity – and it seems that Brooklyn Beckham is following fast in their footsteps.

    The 23-year-old – the eldest son of Victoria and David, whose nickname is Goldenballs – has earned £5 million in the past year alone from brand endorsement deals.

    He has become one of the most sought-after young stars globally, securing contracts with Tiffany & Co, Pepe Jeans and BMW.

    Sources close to Brooklyn say he also makes money from his much-watched cooking videos.

    Although the clips have been mercilessly ridiculed by social media followers – an attempt to make a Sunday roast was lambasted because the joint was still ‘raw’ after cooking – they have been watched by up to five million people.

    However, Brooklyn still has some way to go if he wants to match his parents’ – and in-laws’ – fortunes.

    The Beckhams have amassed around £370 million, while his wife Nicola Peltz’s family are worth £1.2 billion. Brooklyn’s latest job as an ‘influencer’ comes after attempts to become a footballer, photographer and model.

    In the past 12 months he has also fronted campaigns on his Instagram account, which has a following of 15 million, with new Japanese sake brand, WESAKE, which he co-founded; Twinkly, a lighting brand; Wendy’s burger chain; and Silk Nextmilk, a plant-based milk.

    One friend said: ‘Brooklyn is a magnet for brands and he is making a lot of money. It is unbelievable how much he is earning.’

    Meanwhile, his 29-year-old actress wife has deals with Hugo Boss and Italian fashion label GCDS Wear.

    The trio went to the prestigious restaurant Nobu on Park Lane in London.

    Brooklyn, 24, wore a pair of casual blue jeans with a beige bomber jacket and black Converse trainers.

    His wife Nicola, 28, known for her effortless sense of style, donned a longline leather coat with knee-high boots, a pair of stone shorts and a black top.

    Brooklyn and Nicola started dating in 2019 and tied the knot in April 2022 in Florida.

    The outing came shortly after the launch of the brand new documentary ‘Beckham’ which premiered on Wednesday via Netflix.

    The tell-all style documentary has received widespread positive reviews.

    The Telegraph described it as a ‘heartbreaking portrayal of an unexpectedly complex man’.

    They had particular praise for the scenes of David and legendary Manchester United Boss Alex Ferguson.

    They wrote: ‘In particular, the scenes in which Beckham and Alex Ferguson are intercut, talking about how Ferguson turned on, and cast out, the boy who he’d raised like a son, are simply heartbreaking.’

    The Guardian also praised the documentary, saying David comes across as a man who ‘likes to be in control in all aspects of his life’.

    Another positive review came from The Independent who praised director Fisher Stevens for his work on the project and for assembling ‘an impressive cast of interviewees’.

    They also highlighted David’s wife Victoria’s appearance in the show, writing: ‘We hear that he used to drive for hours just to see Victoria for ‘seven minutes’ at the height of her Spice Girls fame.

     ‘The couple sound like they were totally obsessed by one another from the start, and still come across as very content today. But they only let us in so far.’

    The documentary follows the Beckham’s lives from their day to day family life as well as David’s rise to fame through football.

    If watching Inter Miami lose their latest match wasn’t bad enough, club boss David Beckham had to do it while in the presence of his children.

    The former Manchester United and England midfielder, 48, was on hand to watch his side lose 2-1 at home to Monterrey in the Concacaf Champions Cup first leg on Wednesday evening.

    Observing from the sidelines, a smartly dressed Beckham – wearing the signature blue suit he typically pulls on for such occasions – was accompanied by three of his four children with former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.

    On hand to witness the defeat, sons Brooklyn, 25, Cruz, 19, and daughter Harper, 12, sat alongside their father as the team relinquished their one goal lead.

    Inter Miami, playing without Lionel Messi, went a man down and then finished a goal down at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday evening.

    The former Manchester United and England midfielder, 48, was on hand to watch his side lose 2-1 at home to Monterrey in the Concacaf Champions Cup first leg on Wednesday evening

    After getting an 89th-minute winner from Jorge Rodriguez, Monterrey take a 2-1 lead into the second and final leg of the total-goal series on April 10 in Guadalupe, Mexico.

    Messi was ruled out pregame due to a hamstring injury that has sidelined him since mid-March.

    Even without the superstar, Miami went up 1-0 on a 19th-minute goal from Tomas Aviles.

    The Herons were still on top when they lost midfielder David Ruiz to a second yellow card in the 65th minute.

    Monterrey pulled level four minutes later on a goal from Maximiliano Meza, then jumped on top in the waning minutes.

    The decisive tally was set up by an Inter Miami giveaway at the edge of the penalty area.

    Meza laid the ball off to Rodriguez, who set the ball up with his first touch, then fired a 20-yard, right-footed shot into the far top corner.

    Messi, who missed his fourth straight game because of a right hamstring injury, has not played since March 13, and also missed Argentina´s exhibitions last month against El Salvador and Costa Rica.

    It isn’t yet clear when the 36-year-old Messi will return. Inter Miami and Monterrey are scheduled to play the second leg of the quarterfinal in Mexico on April 10. Inter Miami will also play an MLS match against Colorado on Saturday.

    ‘Every day he’s feeling better. It would have been too much of a risk today,’ Inter Miami coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino said through an interpreter after the match.

    He added that Messi will continue to be game-to-game.

    Lily Allen buries the hatchet with Victoria Beckham as she models the designer’s dresses 16 years after branding her ‘fame obsessed’

    She recently buried the hatchet with former nemesis Cheryl following a feud that dated back to the early noughties.

    And it seems that Lily Allen has now also built bridges with Victoria Beckham – whom she once criticised for promoting designer products – by posing in dresses from her collection.

    The popstar-turned-actress, 38, wore a draped sleeve pink satin dress costing £750 as she left the Duke of York Theatre in London’s West End on Tuesday night, following her performance the Pillowman.

    Ms Beckham shared a picture of the look on her Instagram Story, exclaiming: ‘Love this look on you @lilyallen!! Kisses.’

    Last month, Ms Allen wore a £1,290 plunging red satin gown made by Ms Beckham, prompting the designer to call her, ‘my muse’ on Instagram.

    But the former pop stars weren’t always so friendly, with Ms Allen even criticising Ms Beckham for having a negative impact on young people by posing with expensive handbags.

    ‘We are bombarded with fashion mags and gossip mags with rich pop stars and Victoria Beckhams with their new handbags and kids think that’s the sort of life they should have,’ she said on an episode of This Week back in 2007.

    That same year, which was the year before Ms Beckham launched her eponymous fashion label, Ms Allen dubbed her ‘fame obsessed.’

    She said: ‘I just laugh when I see pictures of her in a magazine. I think, “You’re not promoting anything and you don’t need the money, so it’s all about you being famous.” I don’t understand the need to just be famous.’

    Ms Beckham’s husband David mentioned their feud the year before when he was offered Ms Allen’s track by DJ Chris Moyles on BBC Radio 1 but said: ‘She was horrible to Victoria, I won’t have that then.’

    Cheryl also had a highly-publicised feud with Ms Allen, who referenced her on the B-side to her debut single, Smile, with the lyric: ‘I wish I looked just like Cheryl Tweedy.’

    She later said: ‘Cheryl, I don’t really want to look like you. I was being ironic. Nobody really wants to look like you, they just think they do.’

    Cheryl then labelled her a ‘Chick with a d***.’

    Ms Allen has since apologised for her cutting words and it seems the pair are on good terms, with Cheryl even watching her on stage in The Pillowman last month.

    This isn’t the first time Victoria’s loved ones have shown their love for her singing past, with the star’s husband David donning a Spiceworld Christmas jumper for a festive snap in December.

    Enjoying the family outing, David, 46, looked trendy in a grey hoodie and unmissable green swim shorts, as he chatted to his son and daughter on top of the 93.5ft vessel, named Seven.

    His fashion designer wife, 47, soon emerged wearing a figure-hugging brown mini dress which she layered beneath a black cardigan while framing her face with oversized sunglasses.

    She tied her chocolate tresses into a tousled up-do and painted her lips a dark shade of raspberry brown.

    Romeo rolled up his light grey joggers to his shins, while cutting a mint hoodie and storing his essentials in a charcoal backpack.

    The former Manchester United player named his yacht after his iconic shirt number he wore for six years while playing for Manchester United, while he also wore the number seven for international games for England.

    Seven also has a special meaning for the David and Victoria as it is also the middle name of their daughter Harper.

    The craft can accommodate up to 10 guests in five staterooms, with four crew members on board ready to serve the famous family’s every need.

    The yacht has a cruising speed of 20 knots and goes up to a top speed of 30 knots, while it can travel a distance of 300 nautical miles without the need to refuel.

    The stunning vessel boasts an extended swim platform, beach deck and has two engines which generate 2,400 horsepower each.

    The sun-filled outing comes after the family jetted to Miami together with other family members, including Victoria’s niece Libby Adams, ahead of Brooklyn’s wedding.

    Preparations for Brooklyn’s £3million ceremony and party at the Peltz family mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, are well underway ahead of next week.

    Brooklyn, 23, is understood to have signed a prenuptial agreement with his heiress bride-to-be Nicola. The £380 million fortune of Brooklyn’s parents is dwarfed by the estimated £1.3 billion wealth of Miss Peltz’s financier father Nelson.

    As wedding preparations are underway, Nicola recruited Leslie Fremar – a stylist who has worked with Hollywood A-listers Demi Moore and Charlize Theron – to help choose her dress.

    The pair travelled to the headquarters of Valentino in Rome and Nicola has confirmed her gown has been designed by the fashion house’s Pierpaolo Piccioli.

    ‘Nicola trusts Leslie implicitly and, while her dress is being made by Valentino, Leslie is the person she has turned to help with how she will accessorise and how she will have her hair and make-up,’ a source said.

    The wedding – described by friends as ‘Miami society meets British celebrity’ – is expected to be attended by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, actress Eva Longoria and former footballer Phil Neville. Victoria’s Spice Girls bandmate Melanie Brown – Mel B – has confirmed she is going.

    Brooklyn’s godfather Sir Elton John will be absent due to the rescheduling of his Yellow Brick Road tour, but his other godfather, Dave Gardner, will be there.

    There have also been reports that American football legend Tom Brady will be among the guests, possibly with his wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, but speculation that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could attend are wide of the mark. Brooklyn’s younger brothers, Romeo and Cruz, will be best men, while Harper will be a bridesmaid.

    Nicola’s maternal grandmother will be her maid of honour.

    Brooklyn’s father David has no formal role, but friends say he has been tasked with ensuring that all the Beckham men look their best.

    Two weeks ago he met his father Ted and father-in-law Tony Adams to buy suits, and captioned a photograph with the words: ‘Creating special memories, wedding plans under way and the dads are all suited and booted.’ The couple have confirmed the marriage will be a Jewish ceremony.

    ‘It’s strange, because the more wedding meetings that we have, the more real it feels,’ Brooklyn told Vogue magazine recently. ‘I’m excited. I’m wearing a yarmulke [a Jewish head covering].’

    The wedding will take place at the Peltz family’s £76 million, 44,000 sq ft beach house. Nelson and his wife Claudia also have a 27-bedroom mansion near New York which boasts an ice rink.

    Brooklyn and Miss Peltz met in 2017 and began dating two years later. Announcing their engagement on Instagram in July 2020, Brooklyn wrote: ‘Two weeks ago I asked my soulmate to marry me and she said yes. I am the luckiest man in the world.’

    His fiancée wrote: ‘I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life by your side. Your love is the most precious gift.’

    They then made the most of the weather as they ventured out onto sea for a lavish boat trip as they showcased their skills while doing back flips into the water.

    It comes after David and Victoria rushed onto the pitch at GEODIS Park to celebrate the team’s win the previous evening.

    The football club’s co-owner looked visibly moved as he and wife  took a moment to soak up the celebrations on the field in front of a very star-studded crowd including Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman after the game.

    The couple shared an emotional embrace, while Posh Spice also gently cradled her husband’s head in her hands while resting her cheek to his.

    Miami won their first ever trophy with a nail-biting 10-9 victory on penalties after finishing tied 1-1 with Nashville after 90 minutes.

    Taking to Instagram following the historic win, Victoria posted multiple photographs of the family members together at the game.

    She was sure to include snaps with Hollywood actresses Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman, who attended the football match.

    Posh Spice wrote alongside: ‘Wow! What a night in Nashville!!!!We couldn’t be prouder @davidbeckham we love you so much xxxx CHAMPIONS @intermiamicf @cruzbeckham #harperseven.’

    Golden Balls himself shared the same family snap to his Instagram page, and penned: ‘I’m so proud tonight of what we have achieved as La Familia. Gracias for everything MIAMI @intermiamicf.’

    After lifting the trophy, an emotional David admitted he can hardly believe how much Inter Miami have improved after Lionel Messi arrived just five weeks ago and turned them into Leagues Cup winners.

    After landing the team’s only goal in full-time, Messi then scored another sensational strike during the thrilling penalty shootout.

    Goalkeeper Drake Callendar became the hero, saving from opposite number Elliot Panicco after scoring his spot-kick for Miami.

    In the tunnel of Geodis Park after watching his team lift the trophy, David said: ‘I mean, I’m not the biggest fan of penalties. It’s never easy watching these games end like this.

    ‘Every penalty was incredible, it was a hell of a night. Nashville put up an incredible fight but it was our night tonight.

    ‘People keep saying it looks like a movie – every time Leo scores one of these goals, Busi makes one of these passes, Jordi makes one of these runs.

    ‘People say is it a fix and it is the biggest compliment you can give these players because it is like a movie.

    ‘You watch them play and it is emotional. Everything about their play is beautiful.’
