Max Verstappen to Mercedes analysed: 'Is the new Red Bull engine rumoured to be good?'
Rumours of Max Verstappen moving to Mercedes 𒈔have been analysed by Sky Sports' F1 pundits.

Sky Sports F1 pundit Karun Chandhok is doubtful 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen is seriously looking at pote𝕴ntially leaving Red Bull for Mercedes amid the ongoing Christian Horner situation.
The rumour mill was 𝐆sent into overdrive following the Bahrain Grand Prix after Jos Verstappen’s strong comments against Horner, claiming Red Bull could be torn apart.
While Horner was cleared of any wrongdoing following an internal investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour, the saga 🌜has c﷽ontinued to roll on.
On top of Jos’ aforementioned comments, he was seen talking to Mercedes boss Toto Wolff,ও leading to a raft of speculation linking the reigning world champion with a mov🐟e to Brackley.
Speaking on Sky’s F1 cov⭕erage for this weekend’s Saudi Arabian GP, Chandhok gave his view on the situation.
“Jos’ first loyalty is going to lie with his son and ultimately, above everything else, as a father he wants what is best for Max and what is best for Max is having him in the best car possible, win൩ning lots of championships and carrying on this journey that he’s on 𝔍at the moment,” he said.
“Despite all of the stuff that came out and exploded all over the internet on Monday, I don’t believe❀ Max is looking to go to Mercedes. It set the rumour mill into overdrive. I could be proved wrong.
“I didn’t think Lewis would go to Ferrari and I was wrong there.I believe Mr Yoovidhya was at that meeting between Raymond and Christian as well. I think they’re trying to bring the attention, while the situation is unfolding in a private way, in terms of Max, they’re trying to focus the at💎tention back on what’s happening on track.”

Former W Series driver Naomi Schiff su💛ggested that rumours could stem from the fact that Red Bull are building their own power unit for 2026.
Given that it’s the first time in their F1 history they will do so, there’s questions about how competitive Red Bull will be relative to p🐈roven manufacturers such as Ferrari or Mercedes.
“It’s a tough moment for everyone in the paddock,” he added. “Lewis start💜ed a chain of events. It’s almost like a tetris game has been unleashed and we’re waiting to see where all these pieces are going to fit. Ultimately right now, this Red Bull is still a cut above the rest.
“For Max, he will be looking for a car he can have championship wins with. We know his ambition isn’t to stay in F1 forever. Essentially, he’s going to go whꦡere he’s promised of a good team.
“2026 regulations change - will Red Bull❀ still have a dominant car? Is that Red Bull engine rumoured to be good or not? That potentially could be something starting this rumour.”
