However, the outlet also reports that the Verstappen camp wants proof of race-winning potential, before they decide on the jump.
Former F1 driver, and current analyst for Dutch outlet Ziggo Sport, Robert Doornbos also said recently that he’s heard from a reliable source that Max is already in talks with Mercedes, and that the team’s plan for their 2025 engine was “one of the most important questions that would have been discussed”.
Doornbos added that “something is happening behind the scenes”, and he believes “we will have a lot of news in April”.
