Verstappen: I understand why Mercedes want me but I plan to stay at Red Bull
England and Scotland set to battle at Twickenham today for Calcutta Cup
MAX VERSTAPPEN said that he can understand why Toto Wolff wants to take him to Mercedes – but the triple world champion insists it his “intention” to see out his contract with Red Bull.
Following Verstappen’s ninth consecutive victory in Saudi Arabia earlier this month, Wolff revealed for the first time that he would “love” to sign Verstappen as a replacement for the Ferrari-bound Lewis Hamilton.
Verstappen, 26, is under contract with Red Bull until 2028, but his future is in the spotlight amid the infighting at Formula One’s dominant team.
