Verstappen won in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
Lewis Hamilton has every reason to return to Formula 1 next year, according to Max Verstappen.
Wolff said on Thursday that he could not guarantee that Hamilton would return next year.
Verstappen said that he could understand why people were unhappy after a race.
"But you should also know that this is racing and things can happen."
Verstappen said Hamilton should think about what he has achieved in F1 and what he could do to achieve more.
The Red Bull driver said that Hamilton should look back at what he has already achieved.
Mercedes won't appeal against the result of the F1 title.
"That should give him a lot of comfort and it should also be that drive to keep on going because he is still trying to challenge for that eighth title and for sure he can do that next year so I don't see any reason to give up just now."
Verstappen pointed out that Hamilton had won a title in similar circumstances, when he deprived Felipe Massa of the title at the last grand prix in 2008.
He said that he understands that it can be very painful but at the end of the day, he doesn't feel sorry for him. He also won a title like that.
Max Verstappen was in Paris on Thursday night.
The world championship trophy was presented to Verstappen by the governing body of the sport.
Hamilton and Wolff did not attend the event.
The flight that Valtteri Bottas was going to take was delayed because he was with his new team in Switzerland.
James Allison is the chief technical officer of Mercedes.
Jean Todt, the outgoing president of the FIA, has launched a review of the events of Abu Dhabi and the season after a series of inconsistent decisions by officials. The image of F1 has been damaged by the Abu Dhabi controversy.
Verstappen gets what he deserves, said Todt. He had a great season. You are focused on the last lap. He was very lucky on the last lap. You should see the entire season. Is he lucky in Silverstone? Is he lucky in Azerbaijan? Is he lucky in Hungary? He was not.
The sporting regulations require Hamilton and Wolff to attend the prize giving ceremony, but Todt wouldn't say if they would be fined for not attending.
"Tonight we should celebrate, not get into any kind of controversy," Todt said.
There is no point. What would it give? I feel bad because Mercedes should have more. It's something unique for the manufacturers to win eight times.
Are we going to punish him because he's not coming? This is not the place to discuss that. We should be above that.
Graham Stoker or Mohammed bin Sulayem will be the new president of the FIA.
The introduction of the halo cockpit head-protection device, which saved the life of Frenchman Romain Grosjean in his fiery crash in Bahrain last year, was one of the achievements of Todt.
"We've pushed you hard but you've always kept a balance and fairness," he said. I remember all the discussions about the halo. Many drivers owe you their lives because you pushed for the halo, not only in F1 but also outside.
