In a shocking twist, F1 champion Max Verstappen might be turning down Mercedes to join a rival team! Rumors are swirling that the reigning champion is contemplating leaving Red Bull, causing concern for team director Helmut Marko. While Mercedes seems like the obvious choice, respected F1 broadcaster Ted Kravitz believes Aston Martin could be a better fit for Verstappen.
Kravitz highlighted the presence of Adrian Newey at Aston Martin as a crucial factor that could sway Verstappen towards the British team. Despite being a favorite for a Mercedes seat in the past, the Dutchman might have a change of heart this time. With a challenging start to his title defense in 2025, Verstappen’s future in F1 is uncertain.
As Verstappen gears up for the Saudi Arabia GP this weekend, sitting third in the drivers’ standings, his hopes of clinching another championship are dwindling. McLaren’s dominance in the constructors’ championship has put a significant gap between them and Red Bull, making Verstappen’s decision even more crucial. Will he stay loyal to Red Bull or make a daring move to Aston Martin? Stay tuned for more updates!
