Mercedes deny speaking with Verstappen
Mercedes never held talks with Max Verstappen despite reports claiming they had put together a £20m-a-year package to lure him away from Red Bull. On Friday, Red Bull announced that the 20-year-old had extended his stay with the team, signing through to the end of 2020.
