And if the individual boarding the jet happens to be Toto Wolff, then he entered "the lion's den", carrying 'the nuclear football' with launch codes for the Mercedes 2026 F1 rocket.

The pictured private jet seems to be the PH-UTL ("UTL" = "Unleash The Lion") Verstappen jet indeed.

Also, the pictured person wears his watch on the right wrist. Wolff does indeed do that with his IWC watch.

Maybe Wolff simply asked Verstappen if he had a spare Pumpernickel to share while being in Sardinia ?

Is it me or do exec jets seem to be getting larger, they used to be half the size of those there, that lot are like mini airliners.
So with that logic they fly around the Med with Wolff showing the blue plans for the Merc engine to Max for say an hour then return to Sardinia to where their yachts are to share some Austrian and Belgian food. It's not impossible if it were true but stranger things have happened.
