Seems that neither Merc or Ferrari were busting a gut to hire Verstappen. All that public whining about the Renault engine was quite damaging to his appeal.
You only have to look at how Alonso ended up to see that being a fast driver is not the whole package....(Honda now won't let Alonso race in a car with their engine after all the criticism of the Honda engine he made while at McLaren).
Verstappen needs to learn to keep his whining to himself...if he ever wants to move to teams like Ferrari and Mercedes where PR is paramount.
