It's hard not to think that the 'Max could go to Mercedes' rumour isn't just another ploy to try and exert pressure on Horner to quit, but if it does actually have some substance and he does have a way out of the contract, it would be astonishing to see him go to Merc. I would also assume that Red ...

Mercedes having to lift and coast at a relatively cool race is not a good sign.
Alpine should fold.

I've said for the last few years that when Verstappen realises how close he is to the records in a few years he will stick around. At the end of 2025 he could have 85 (15 this season and next as an estimate) and five championships. If Red Bull get the 2026 regs right, or he can get himself into the ...

I'm skeptical that Leclerc was on used tyres if he's that close to Verstappen on new tyres.
