Christian Horner hints at Max Verstappen’s 2020 destination

Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner hinted at the team for which Max Verstappen will drive in the 2020 Formula 1 season. There has been speculation that Verstappen will leave the team and join Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport to replace Valtteri Bottas after the 2019 Formula 1 season concludes. Verstappen signed a three-year contract extension back in October of 2017, so he is under contract to drive for the team through the 2020 season. Here is what he had to say about these rumors when discussing the possibility of Verstappen and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton becoming teammates next year, according to Formula 1: “Toto has certainly not spoken to me about it. He speaks to almost every driver on the grid, so I would think if he has had a conversation it’s been direct not through the team. The situation with Max is clear and as with other drivers there are always trigger points. But in terms of having those two in one team, I haven’t heard from Lewis either that he wants to join next year.”
