Recent developments have stirred the Formula 1 community, with reports indicating that Mercedes has been in talks with Max Verstappen regarding a potential move from Red Bull. Mercedes is reportedly preparing an unprecedented offer of €150 million ($245 million) per season to lure Verstappen for the 2025 season, which would more than double his current salary at Red Bull【6†source】【9†source】.

These discussions have intensified as Lewis Hamilton is set to join Ferrari in 2025, leaving a significant vacancy at Mercedes. The potential move would be a major shakeup in the F1 grid, considering Verstappen’s dominant performance over the past few years, including his three consecutive championships and a strong start to the current season【7†source】【8†source】.

Additionally, Mercedes is looking to bring over other key figures from Red Bull, including senior advisor Helmut Marko and technical genius Adrian Newey, both of whom have been instrumental in Red Bull’s success. Marko’s future at Red Bull has been uncertain, and his close relationship with Verstappen could play a crucial role in convincing the Dutch driver to switch teams【7†source】【9†source】.

These talks highlight Mercedes’ strategic efforts to rebuild their team dynamics and competitiveness after Hamilton’s departure, setting the stage for significant changes in the F1 landscape.
