Verstappen not convinced by Mercedes: This is why:

— Ralf Schumacher speculated on a potential timeline for Max Verstappen's decision regarding his future with Red Bull or a switch to Mercedes. On the Backstage Boxengasse podcast, Schumacher remarked:

“I can hardly imagine anything happening before the summer break. I think they want to wait and see what Mekies does. With this recent change, new people are coming in. That was also a problem before. To be fair, with Christian Horner, some well-established people from Formula X didn't want to join.”

— Schumacher suggested that Verstappen, along with his father and manager, would evaluate their options during the summer break:

“Now, of course, if there's a list and Max Verstappen can be presented with 'Okay, here we are now, this is where we're heading, it will take a year,' I can definitely see that happening.”

“So, I believe the three of them—his dad, his manager, and Max himself—will sit down during the summer break, lay out the options side by side, classic style, discuss everything, and then make a decision.”

— Schumacher's stance on Verstappen's potential move to Mercedes has shifted recently. He previously believed a switch was likely but now sees Red Bull as Verstappen's "home":

“Mercedes, with their own interests, had to apparently give their go-ahead first. That also took quite a while.”

“As a driver, feeling that the team is behind you like Red Bull does—that's something I believe he can only really find there, or maybe at McLaren or with Stroll Senior's team. But with Mercedes, it's different because of the three owners, and I think that's holding Max back a bit from making a final decision.”
