Lewis Hamilton Responds to Max Verstappen Mercedes Rumors

Max Verstappen‘s future is the biggest talking point in the Formula 1 paddock at the moment. Rumors over the Dutchman’s potential switch to Mercedes have only increased in the past week, with media surrounding the 27-year-old during media day at the British GP. Now, Lewis Hamilton has commented on such a possibility.

Reports over Verstappen potentially wanting to join the Silver Arrows are not new. The four-time world champion has been linked to such a move since last year. Though, the intensity of such rumors have amplified in the past couple of weeks. Nevertheless, Max Verstappen has continued to remain firm in his stance, not showing direct interest in leaving Red Bull just yet.

Lewis Hamilton, who spent over a decade at Brackley and achieved incredible success, had positive comments for his former team. The seven-time world champion insisted that the Silver Arrows were an amazing team with some of the most passionate people in the paddock. While Hamilton did not directly suggest Max Verstappen to make this leap of faith to Mercedes, he remained interested in how this situation pans out in the coming weeks.

But what I can say, if anyone was going to ask me about Mercedes, it’s an amazing team also. With, naturally, the passion, they’ve got great personnel, it’s a great factory, great environment to work in. So, of course I would say, be interested to see what happens.
