Max Verstappen, who is currently signed with Red Bull, is in talks with Mercedes over changing sides, according to The Guardian. The negotiations have reportedly intensified leading up to this weekend's British Grand Prix.

Amid growing buzz of the four-time champion’s connection to Mercedes, an unlucky crash at the Red Bull Ring crushed his already dwindling championship hopes.

Meanwhile, the Red Bull drivers found themselves in a few incidents and ended with no points, making it a “ home race to forget .” Max Verstappen’s day was done by Turn 3 when he was hit by Kimi Antonelli, who locked up heading into the corner, and Yuki Tsunoda battled with Alpine’s Franco Colapinto on and off throughout.
