Why is Mercedes attractive for Verstappen?
Mercedes also had a disappointing Sunday at Silverstone, and while the German team would need to make the necessary steps forward performance-wise, there is an argument for the Dutchman to join because of a different area.
Meanwhile, GPblog could also share there will not be many more updates coming to the RB21 this season: Only a single adjustment to the bodywork will take place in the short term, with no more major updates this season.

Hulkenberg moved by Verstappen's message
Nico Hulkenberg managed to achieve an important milestone. After 239 Grands Prix, he could step on the podium for the first time.
While Max Verstappen had a difficult weekend, he was there to congratulate his friend. The Dutchman also posted a photo on social media, with the caption: "Very tough and difficult race for me, but big congrats to Nico on his podium, really happy for you.”
On the other hand, the two McLaren drivers were criticised for not celebrating with the Sauber driver the way he deserved it.
Sauber team principal Jonathan Wheatley also praised his driver, and explained what this result means for the Audi project as well.
