For all the talk this past year of Max Verstappen and Mercedes, could he one day end up at Ferrari?
Max Verstappen has been cautioned against waiting too long, like Lewis Hamilton, if he hopes to join Ferrari in the future. Earlier this year, Verstappen was linked with Mercedes but a clause in his Red Bull contract delayed any potential move until at least next season. Verstappen now has the chance to assess the competitive landscape under new regulations before a decision. While Ferrari already has a strong driver lineup, there is a possibility Verstappen might consider joining them. Eddie Irvine, a former Ferrari driver, believes that Verstappen should make a move earlier if he aims to drive for Ferrari, unlike Hamilton who arrived at Ferrari at an older age. Irvine hopes that history doesn’t repeat itself and that Verstappen doesn’t delay his potential move to Ferrari like Hamilton did.
