Max Verstappen is the star of the pre-GP of Saudi Arabia. But not precisely because he won the first race of 2024 in Bahrain, but because the Red Bull driver is at the center of rumors that seems to be a possible replacement for Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes in 2025.
All that Horner’s case suggests has helped the rumor mill gain momentum and Mercedes hasn’t denied anything. But on the other hand, the Dutch pilot closed the door for this to happen.
“Things should be really crazy, I guess, but that’s not the goal of everyone”commented for SkySports Verstappen discussed the possibility of him not racing for Red Bull in 2025 as a result of the Horner controversy.
“You never know what happens or what hits you or what happens around you or what might influence you. So you can never say 100% that it will be like this. And I approach my life like that, but I don’t think too much about it too. I’m very relaxed. Like I said, I’m very happy in the team. So I am happy with the team, the performance is there, there is no reason to leave“, continues the statements collected by ‘Marca’ about whether he could join Mercedes in the near future.
About his father: “He’s not a liar”
Verstappen’s father, Jos Verstappen, was also in the spotlight after he suggested that Horner leave the team so that Red Bull is no longer in danger of losing. That is, he asked for his head. Max did not enter into arguments but supported his father figure.
“My father, from how I know him, says things and is not a liar. But I don’t like to talk about some things. I’m focused on the track. If there are problems, they will be solved within the team,” he said.
