Max Verstappen will not go to the Formula 1 team Mercedes leave as long as Lewis Hamilton is still there, is the conclusion of the Italian branch Motorsport. They therefore expect that the Dutchman will ‘just’ sign on Red Bull Racing.
All seats are already filled for the coming season, but towards 2021 everything is still completely open. Several drivers have an expiring contract, including Hamilton, Verstappen, Sebastian Vettel and Valtteri Bottas. A big seat dance is expected, but in Italy they think differently. They do not expect that much will change. The Italian branch of Motorsport expects that at least Hamilton and Verstappen will simply stay with their current employers. Ferrari and Mercedes are not an option for the Dutchman.

According to the Italian medium, Verstappen has only one goal and that is to become a world champion. According to them, this is not going to happen at Mercedes. “Rumors are that Verstappen is at the top of Toto Wolff’s list, but Lewis does not seem willing to say goodbye to Mercedes. The chance that they will put Verstappen next to the six-time world champion is zero,” writes the medium, who also thinks that Ferrari is no longer an option now that people have fully invested in it Charles Leclerc. The Monegask contract was, after all, extended.
In Italy it is thought that only one thing is going to happen to Verstappen, and that is that he will simply extend his contract with Red Bull. “Max seems to be destined to stay on board at Red Bull for at least three more seasons,” it is said. “It is a long period, which may not turn out to be in favor of the Limburger.”
