Transfer bomb This morning, Giorgio Terruzzi from the pages of Corriere della Sera reported that Mercedes decided to use George Russell’s contract option and keep him in the team in 2027.
The move would close off the main escape route from Red Bull for Max Verstappen, who has been linked with Mercedes on and off for several years. This evening, the Daily Mail, written by the always well-informed Jonathan McEvoy, published the classic of the latest news: “Max Verstappen is in secret talks with McLaren over a sensational transfer from Red Bull. The star could move as early as next year and Oscar Piastri could follow the opposite route.” Details: Verstappen and McLaren The British site explained how Verstappen and McLaren started preliminary talks with the aim of pairing the Dutch driver with Lando Norris. Negotiations are said to be “conducted in great secrecy” and see Max moving to Woking as early as 2027, taking advantage of well-known contractual clauses in the agreement between the four-time world champion and Red Bull. Oscar Piastri will thus join Red Bull, which has been following him for a while. A source even reportedly told the Daily Mail: “McLaren really likes the idea and if the project does happen it could happen in 2028 or maybe sooner.” At McLaren in 2028 – perhaps not coincidentally – Gianpiero Lambiase may find himself again, at which time he will take up his post as Racing Director.
