Former Formula 1 driver predicts Max Verstappen will join Mercedes

One former Formula 1 driver predicts that Max Verstappen will join Mercedes in 2025. Will Verstappen leave Red Bull for its rival team?

[autotag]Max Verstappen[/autotag]’s future at Red Bull Racing has been a topic of conversation, as Jos Verstappen, Max’s father, has been feuding with the race team. This comes as Red Bull Racing closed Christian Horner’s investigation without consequences. In fact, one former Formula 1 driver believes Verstappen might be on his way to an arch-rival.

According to F1-Insider, former Formula 1 driver Gerhard Berger believes Max Verstappen will join Mercedes. Berger also predicted that Horner would stay while Helmut Marko and Adrian Newey quit Red Bull. If Berger’s prediction came true, this would be a significant development, as Red Bull has been the class of the field over the last two years.

Should Verstappen leave Red Bull for Mercedes? It would be very shocking as the three-time Formula 1 champion has been very successful with his current race team. Red Bull is faster than Mercedes, so it would be puzzling to see Verstappen leave. It appears unlikely on the surface, but the Formula 1 world will keep buzzing until Mercedes announces Lewis Hamilton’s replacement.
