Amid rumours suggesting Max Verstappen could join Mercedes, fans are reminded of one trick Red Bull used to convince the four-time world champion in the past

Max Verstappen, who is currently signed with Red Bull, is in talks with Mercedes over changing sides, according to The Guardian. The negotiations have reportedly intensified leading up to this weekend's British Grand Prix.

The F1 paddock is abuzz, and not just with the roar of engines at this weekend’s British Grand Prix. Whispers have turned into full-blown speculation about a potential blockbuster move that could send shockwaves through the sport: Max Verstappen to Mercedes.

George Russell made sure all eyes were on him even before he pulled on his helmet at Silverstone. The Mercedes star arrived for the British Grand Prix weekend behind the wheel of an ultra-rare Mercedes C111, a jaw-dropping machine that’s rarer than most people can even dream of seeing.

George Russell said he was almost certain to stay with Mercedes next season amid increasing speculation that his old Formula One foe Max Verstappen could move to the team from Red Bull.
