Piqué Junior: In 2026, Verstappen will be at Mercedes
Former F1 driver Nelson Piquet Jr. revealed in the Pelas Pistas podcast that next year Max Verstappen will race for Mercedes, where he will be teammate to Kimi Antonelli.
Nelson Piquet Jr.: "This year, there are weekends when everything goes wrong for Mercedes. It's very hard to influence this. One of their drivers is a rookie, who, unfortunately, was knocked out last weekend by Isaac Hajar. Anyway, it was an unlucky weekend for Mercedes. But who knows what will happen next year when Max races there.
No, you misunderstood me. The contract hasn't been signed yet. But he will definitely race in Formula 1 in 2026. I think he will make a decision in August. If he chooses Mercedes, then his teammate will undoubtedly be Antonelli."
