Max Verstappen to Mercedes? It's not as outlandish as it once sounded...
Toto Wolff believes Max Verstappen shouldn’t even consider a move to Mercedes until the team can demonstrate that they can win consistently again in F1.Having produced the most dominant campaign in history in F1 2023, winning 21 out of a possible 22 races as Verstappen eased to a third consecutive World Championship, Red Bull began F1 2024 with four wins from the first five rounds.
Wolff has made no secret of his desire to sign Verstappen as Ferrari-bound Hamilton’s replacement for F1 2025, stating earlier this season that he “would love to have” the 26-year-old. Doornbos believes that would allow Verstappen to “dominate again” if Mercedes emerge as the best team under the new F1 2026 regulations.
“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, but that has suddenly changed.
