  • Max Verstappen is Red Bull's 'franchise' driver in F1. But it could have all been so different, if Mercedes had succeeded in trying to beat Red Bull to signing him up in 2014. So why did Max reject the team that was dominating F1 at the time?

      Yeah but Max wouldn’t be a straight rookie like Hamilton in 2007. Mercedes would probably have financed Max’s GP2 season in 2016 and then put him in a Williams or Force India for 2017. Max would only join Mercedes in 2019 if Valtteri has a poor 2018 like he did irl.

    If max went with merc he probably would have gotten promoted to f1 when nico quit, if he hadn't already been placed at Williams. Either way he'd probably have ended up in merc when nico left and it's probably good for lewis' 2017, 18, 19, 20 championships that he didn't go there. If nico could beat him max definitely would have had one or two from those yrs. If that happened, Lewis wouldn't have the prestige of a 7time champ and would be challenged by the young guy. Who knows how it all could have played out. Maybe Lewis might have jumped ship to rb or ferrari at some point if he didn't have any easy teammate like bottas for all those easy championships

      Ephesians 6:10-18 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.

    Red Bull was on a winning streak at the time. Merc was an ugly duckling. The modern Mercedes team had only won as Braun in ‘09 and struggled massively for results (even with extreme talent) until they nailed the turbo/hybrid regulations. From ‘14 on it didn’t look like such a great move until RB clawed back to the top.

    Max would fall out with anyone who would challenge Max, or as he is known as. Don’t give anyone a cars width. Then whine when someone doesn’t give a cars width. Max you need to practice what you preach. Instead of running other drivers of the circuit, it’s just not the way to be classed as a good driver. Also it would be interesting to see how you get on with a teammate who will overtake you. But I think you have it in your contract. That they cannot challenge you.
