168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and his manage🍸ment are set to have “concrete” negotiations with Mercedes follo🧸wing this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix. 

According to , Verstappen, Jos Verstappen and his manager Ra༺ymond Vermeulen will meet with senior Mercedes officials 🅠to discuss a potential move for the 2025 F1 season.

Mercedes have been open in their interest in signing Verstappen as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s replacement for 2025.

According to the report, Toto Wolff, Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Kallenius and Ineos' Sir Jim Ratcliffe will be present at the negotia🤪tions.

While Verstappen has a Red Bull contract until 2028, his future isn’t entirely certain, particularlꦿy given the situation surrounding Christian Horner and his alleged inappropriate behaviour towards a female employee.

H๊ornerཧ has remained in his role as team principal with talk surrounding the investigation into his behaviour easing off in recent races.

Verstappen has a clause in his curr𓄧ent Red Bull contract which states that if Helmut Marko is no longer part of the team, then he’d be free to leave.

Marko’s futu𝕴re was uncertain around the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after rumours emerged that he was the one who leaked screenshots from the aforementioned Horner investigation.

Vers🏅tappen made clear to the media in Saudi Arabia that𓂃 if Marko was to leave, that he would too.

Anoth𓃲er element in the mix is the upcoming 2026 F1 rules - and the impact the🌌y will have on Red Bull.

Red Bull will be building their 🎃own engines for the first time when the new regulations are introduced.

There are 🔯some concerns that Red Bull’s lack of experience in building an engine will catch them out compared to Mercedes and Ferrari.

Similarly, speculati𒊎on around Adrian Newey’s future may tempt Verstappen away as well.

Mercedes are prepared to sign Verstappen - and are unconcerned by the finances it would take to bring the three-time world cha🙈mpion to Brackley.

With Hamilton’s salary over 🐻£50 million per year as it is, Mercedes would be prepared to strike one of the 👍biggest deals in F1 history to sign Verstappen.

Given Red Bull and Mercedes’ contrasting fortunes in 2024, Verstappen will have to decide whether he wants to guarantee himself another world title next year (given the rules stay the same) or gamble on Merced🌳es for the better intra-team atmosphere and possible better chance of success in 2026 with the ﷽new rules.
