Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc told to join Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes

Former Renault boss Flavio Briatore has told Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc to join Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes. Hamilton is on course to win a sixth world title this year as Mercedes scoop a sixth consecutive double. “For me, Verstappen, as well as Leclerc and Hamilton, can be world champions,” says Briatore. “If Leclerc were with Mercedes instead of Bottas, they would almost be at eye level for me. For me, Hamilton and Verstappen or Hamilton and Leclerc at Mercedes would be the best team.”
