(Not so much) A shocking statement was made by the head of McLaren: Zak Brown believes that Max Verstappen is spending his last year at Red Bull Racing. At the same time, the boss of Lando Norris's team also provided a shocking prediction...
According to Brown, Verstappen could build a new career not at the much-discussed Aston Martin, but at another team:
“I think this will be his last season at Red Bull, and I would bet that I know where he will continue: at Mercedes! I know many people are speculating about Aston Martin, especially since Adrian Newey joined them. But Adrian will take time to build the organizational culture and team around him that can rise to championship contenders. Max doesn’t like to wait... That’s why I think Mercedes will be his destination. And honestly, this would be a completely logical step. Mercedes has been the most successful team of the last decade, who struggled last year but still won four races and are on an upward trajectory. They are well-prepared for the 2026 rule changes, and we know that Toto Wolff is also intensely interested in Max, plus both of their drivers' contracts are expiring...” - Zak Brown teased the Verstappen bomb.
