Max Verstappen in Mercedes: Lewis Hamilton cuts short market rumors
After the words of George Russell during the press conference presenting the Saudi Arabian GP, Lewis Hamilton, too, at the microphones of the British newspaper "Independent", commented without mincing words on market rumors related to a possible move of Max Verstappen from Red Bull to Mercedes.
"My transfer to Ferrari proved that anything è possible and I know that Max è on Mercedes’ list to take my place. I am not surprised that Verstappen is being considered, and what happened in Abu Dhabi does not exclude him because é he has nothing to do with it, è the sport that has 'betrayed us'" began the British driver.
"If I were him I would have done exactly what he did. When you è leading a team you want the best drivers who can also attract attention and sponsors and Verstappen è one of them. It would not make sense for him at the moment to leave Red Bull, but it will be è very interesting to see how this develops, also taking into consideration the situation related to Christian Horner" added Lewis Hamilton.
On the market rumors, at the press conference for the presentation of the Saudi Arabian GP è the Dutch driver himself also spoke, who reiterated his intention to honor his existing contract with Red Bull and to stay until its expiration (2028). However, the three-time world champion would not rule out a priori the possibility of changing his mind and leaving the Milton Keynes team early.
