Speaking to , Ecclestone thinks Verstappen is “to📖o intelligent” to leave Red Bull.

"He's too intelligent to do that," Ecclestone said. "What wꦇould he gain? To go where?"

"Well, the only thing is, you can do thatꦑ when i🙈t suits you, rather than being pushed into it because you would think 'why should Mercedes get that big advantage?'" he added.

"They would spend the money. Red Bull spends the money. He k𓆉nows about Red Bull, he knows exactly what they do and w🎃hat they don't do.

"Would he go to think h💎e could prove it's not what people say at the moment, maybe it's not him it's the car that's fantastic.

"So maybe he would like to go somewhere else to prove it's me, not the ca🍷r. It's another side of things. But where would he go? I suppose in the end Mercedes is the obviou💫s choice."
