Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM.....
Nelson Piquet Jr. has just let it slip about Verstappen and Mercedes being in talks...

He presumed everyone knew about it already and says the final contract details aren't decided yet. And he adds that Verstappen's teammate will be Antonelli in case of an agreement.
Things are getting more concrete slowly then... This is absolutely the start of a downfall for Red Bull.

Just as how I imagined it. I guess Russell is going the other way to Red Bull.
What other choice does he have..? 
In other news, there are words swirling around that the Red Bull CEO was responsible for Horner's sacking and that the owners of Red Bull and Helmut Marko supported the move. But then... It was also said that Vertappen was upset with the decision. Dun dun duuun...
Yeah, high possibility Verstappen decides to go to Mercedes and signs a contract at the end of the season.
