Only factor which could tempt Max Verstappen to Mercedes identified as pursuit continues

Mercedes are trying to sign Max Verstappen, and the one key thing that might tempt him in future has been pointed out by David Croft.

Sky Sports’ David Croft believes that, if Max Verstappen did make an unlikely move to Mercedes , it would be done on the knowledge of their 2026 power unit – which would be difficult to find out for anyone relative to their rivals.

With Red Bull producing their first ever in-house engines in time for 2026 following their split from Honda, Sky’s lead commentator explained that if the Dutchman was to leave, it would be for a compelling performance-related reason. “You know, Red Bull are a winning thing at the moment, and there are no guarantees from the outside that Mercedes will be that in 2026.”For Verstappen himself, he has maintained throughout the season he wants to remain in the fastest car possible – adding that he is not currently motivated by the desire to build a new project from scratch in the search for victories when he is currently at the top of the sport.
