As per the recent post on X, “Mercedes appears to have devised an even more aggressive strategy than Aston Martin to attract Adrian Newey. It is very clear that Toto Wolff wants to take advantage of the tensions at Red Bull and try to attract Max Verstappen and Newey.

Mercedes Willing to Offer Max Verstappen a Bumper Multi-Million Contract
Max Verstappen has been a force to be reckoned with since his controversial 2021 title win against Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton.

The German team is prepared to offer him a mouth-watering €150 million contract. But that’s not all—there’s an additional twist.
