'But that has suddenly changed...'
Max Verstappen has to give “serious” consideration to joining Mercedes , not in 2026 but next season, that’s according to Robert Doornbos.
However, today the team and its triple World Champion have Mercedes and McLaren nipping on their heels meaning Verstappen has bagged just two wins in the last five Grands Prix, with Austria and Silverstone marking his first back-to-back losses since 2022. “Since Mercedes didn’t have a competitive car earlier in the year, it was a ‘no brainer’ for Max to stay with Red Bull next year, who were still quite dominant at that time.“That could be due to all kinds of factors, such as the unrest within the team, the departure of Adrian Newey and a second driver who is causing terrible headaches.
“Max has to see whether Red Bull can still get things back on track or whether the wave the team was surfing on is over. In any case, it should not deteriorate much further,” he added.
