Max Verstappen to Mercedes makes more sense than you think...

Спорт

Reports are that there's a chance Max Verstappen could sign for Mercedes. And you know what, I don't think it's as crazy as it initially sounds. Let's talk about it.

Cos Jos is dating Horners former PA… and Horner advised her to not start relationships with Jos…. Jos and that Fiona woman together made the complaint to RB, then Jos kept leaking info to Telegraaf, even orchestrated the emails to all press and FIA, F1 during FP2. Its all JOS. Only aim is to damage Horner and get him fired. He doesn’t care that it’s damaging Max’ season, team, RBR, RB, sponsors, even Fiona is dragged through the mud with it… it’s all Jos. And still Jos is talking to press to damage Horner and force RB to fire him. Jos even went to Toto to ask if there’s a seat available so he can have leverage to force RB to fire Horner “or else Max leaves to Merc”…. And all this WITHOUT MAX’ APPROVAL. Jos must be blocked by Max, RBR and RB before he does even more damage. The whole paddock knows this.

    It’s easy to look at Hamilton’s move to Merc and think it could easily happen again with Max, but if you look historically, there has been way more bad moves like this than good ones. From the top off my head i can think of Ricciardo to Mclaren or some of Alonso’s moves over the years. But, everyone starts fresh in 2026, could be very interesting if the move happens.

    Correct. ​⁠​⁠the reality is it’s a personal vendetta by Jos…. He wants Horner fired. He is behind i all, the complaint to RB, the leaks to Telegraaf AND the emails with the messages to all press and FIA and F1? And why does Jos hate Horner so much?

Jos and that Fiona woman together made the complaint to RB, then Jos kept leaking info to Telegraaf, even orchestrated the emails to all press and FIA, F1 during FP2. Its all JOS. Only aim is to damage Horner and get him fired. He doesn’t care that it’s damaging Max’ season, team, RBR, RB, sponsors, even Fiona is dragged through the mud with it… it’s all Jos. And still Jos is talking to press to damage Horner and force RB to fire him. Jos even went to Toto to ask if there’s a seat available so he can have leverage to force RB to fire Horner “or else Max leaves to Merc”…. And all this WITHOUT MAX’ APPROVAL.

    Nah man, Antonelli is such a big prospect Merc would be crazy to let him go. I think that if this were to happen, this would be the end for Russel in the near future. They'd probably send Antonelli to Williams to gain some experience like they did with Russel. And when he's grown enough to their liking, Russel is yeeted out and Kimi joins Merc next to Max. That is, if Max still wants to race then. Altho, Max did say that it'd be hard to justify leaving F1 if he was in a dominant car.

  • @robinthebobin6537
    @robinthebobin65373 ай бұрын

    I agree with everything said in this video actually. Of course it's unlikely, but I think it's more possible than some people may think. Another side to it: Max always says that he's not too bothered about breaking records and that he'll stay in F1 as long as he enjoys it - and tbh I believe him. He seems to be loving his time at Red Bull now, but if he gets bored of the team I don't think it's out of the question for him to jump ship to a currently slower team that has clear potential to be better in the new regs (and has shown prescedence for doing so in the past). Also, I think of Max as a driver who wants to do just that - drive (polar opposite to Lewis who I also like). While it's impossible to completely avoid team politics in F1, if it gets too crazy with the Horner situation, Max could join Merc purely to get away from all the drama and focus on his driving.

If Verstappen were to leave Red Bull for a full works team in anticipation of 2026, it would make total sense. Remember how much Red Bull was plagued by Renault from 2014 to 2018 with the best aero and chassis (by their wins in non-power sensitive tracks)

The performance is extraordinary.” Asked if he felt that pointed to Red Bull winning all the races, Wolff said: “Unfortunately yes. You just need to just acknowledge his performance levels are really very strong.”
