Reigning Formula One world champion Max Verstappen is seemingly at a crossroads with Red Bull Racing and may take his talents to Mercedes, the constructor that had parted ways with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton at the end of the 2024 season.

Max Verstappen, who is currently signed with Red Bull, is in talks with Mercedes over changing sides, according to The Guardian. The negotiations have reportedly intensified leading up to this weekend's British Grand Prix.

Legendary F1 commentator Martin Brundle believes the speculation surrounding a possible move for Max Verstappen to Mercedes is “embarrassing” and leaves George Russell in a “super uncomfortable” position.
