Lewis Hamilton stated that he would provide a positive recommendation for Max Verstappen to join Mercedes if he chooses to leave Red Bull. There are speculations that Verstappen might consider switching teams due to ongoing challenges with his current car at Red Bull, with Mercedes being a potential strong contender. Hamilton, a former Mercedes driver himself, emphasized his support for the team and expressed regret for previously calling Red Bull “just a drinks company.” Despite their rivalry, Hamilton acknowledged Red Bull’s excellence and praised Mercedes as an exceptional team with great personnel and resources. Verstappen has been a target for Mercedes’ team principal Toto Wolff, who confirmed discussions with the Dutch driver, prompting cautious responses from Verstappen regarding the potential move.
