Russell: Any F1 team should "100%" try to sign Verstappen
An independent investigation cleared Red Bull team principal Christian Horner of wrongdoing after allegations by a female employee. Despite this, leaks and Jos Verstappen’s warning could lead to Red Bull having to choose between Horner and star driver Max Verstappen. If Max were to leave, Mercedes would be the likely destination, as hinted by Verstappen Sr’s meetings with Toto Wolff. Driver market speculation is rife, with George Russell expressing eagerness for a competitive lineup. Despite past tensions with Verstappen, Russell believes in his ability to compete at a high level, especially against the benchmark set by Lewis Hamilton. Ultimately, the potential driver changes could reshape the F1 landscape and create an exciting new dynamic for fans to follow.
