What led to “Verstappen to Mercedes” rumors ?
With the controversy surrounding Christian honor and the mismanagement of the alleged inappropriate behavior incident by Red Bull’s team principal, the Red Bull team appears to be in disarray. Despite a resounding victory in the season opener at Berlin, tensions are high in the Red Bull camp.
The team is reportedly split into two factions – one in support of Honor and the other against him . Max has refrained from making any comments on the matter and has chosen to remain neutral in his statements.
Following Red Bull’s independent investigation into the alleged incident, things seemed to calm down until the alleged texts regarding Christian honor were leaked.
Jos Verstappen, who also received the leaks, provided his commentary on this issue to The Daily Mail, “There is tension here while he remains in position. The team is in danger of being torn apart. It can’t go on the way it is. It will explode. He is playing the victim when he is the one causing the problems”.
Subsequently, videos began to circulate across various media platforms showing Jos Verstappen and Toto Wolff engaged in a conversation during the Bahrain Grand Prix . Toto sported a smirk, causing suspicion among viewers that something suspicious was taking place. Speculation arose that perhaps Toto was attempting to recruit Max for his team. Soon Verstappen to Mercedes started trending on Twitter(X).
Can Max Verstappen Join Mercedes ?
Verstappen has a contract with Red Bull running till 2028 but there is an exit clause that allows Verstappen to exit Red Bull, so there is a possibility that Verstappen can quit Red bull for Mercedes the very next year.
When media asked Helmut Marko if Verstappen will join Mercedes, Marko replied “As far as I’m concerned, I won’t stand in Max’s way.”
Verstappen to Mercedes can be a reality as long as Mercedes announces their 2nd driver.
