Max Verstappen responds to Mercedes’ offer.

The words of Max Verstappen

There is nothing but talk in Formula 1 about the future of Max Verstappen, who is being courted in particular by Mercedes with staggering numbers. The person concerned commented thus: "Even if the 150 million euro offer were true, it would not be the decisive factor in moving me. I am already happy with what I am earning, the important thing is performance. So at the moment my future è in Red Bull”.

"I myself know that if I drove for fifth or sixth position, I would become quite grumpy with myself. È it’s always a matter of performance: everybody knows it, even Toto knows it. Do I think it is strange that he is courting me? No, I think everyone should always be optimistic. I want to stay with the team becauseé I believe in the project, but in the end you never know what will happen in the future".

Framing the Red Bull moment è Jos Verstappen, Max’s father, to the De Telegraaf: "The team is in danger of falling apart. That was what I feared at the’beginning of the year. For internal peace in the team, it was important to keep all the key figures on board. Now itès no longer soì".

"Newey is leaving and at the beginning of the season it looked like Helmut would be sent away as well. Not è a good sign for the future", continued Jos, who according to rumors is already negotiating with Mercedes on behalf of his son. The German team reportedly made an attractive offer to the three-time world champion.
