Max Verstappen has been linked with a sensational move from Red Bull to Mercedes...
As Max Verstappen continues to be linked to a shock Mercedes switch, their former driver Valtteri Bottas cast doubt over the idea that past tensions could prove a stumbling block for any move.
Marko is staying, but the Verstappen to Mercedes speculation continues to bubble, team principal Toto Wolff admitting he would “love” to sign the reigning and defending three-time World Champion for 2025, as Lewis Hamilton prepares to head for Ferrari. But, could it really happen after the epic and extremely tense 2021 title battle? Bottas reckons so.
However, Bottas, who spent his final season as Mercedes team-mate to Hamilton in 2021, does not think this will serve as a barrier to Verstappen joining Mercedes if he wished to pursue that move.While Bottas told media ahead of the Australian Grand Prix that “I personally wouldn’t see why he would like to leave Red Bull”, considering their RB20 is “clearly the fastest car on the grid”, he does not believe that would necessarily make a Verstappen to Mercedes move bizarre.
