I can understand Max being in talks with Mercedes, after all Mercedes lost Hamilton so they were looking for a superstar, makes sense for both sides, Red Bull basically lost all people that made Red Bull what it is today, so moving to Mercedes would make sense. But, Antonelli part doesn't make sense to me. I get it, George and Max hates each other, and because of that being teammates would be very tough, but getting rid of someone like George Russell feels like a mistake, it is clear to me that he is better than Antonelli.

In this case, if George Russel isn't at Mercedes after this season, then where will he race? Will he go to a top team? Or will he have to become one of those drivers who slowly phase out by picking a bad team, aka Sainz right now for example.
