According to an exclusive article from Daily Mail, Aston Martin is preparing a £1 billion offer to secure four-time world champion Max Verstappen.
The proposed deal would provide Verstappen with £200 million annually over five years, potentially including equity in the team. This move aligns with Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll’s ambition to dominate F1.
The team has already recruited renowned car designer Adrian Newey on a £30 million per year contract and signed two-time champion Fernando Alonso for £21 million annually.
Daily Mail has learned that Jefferson Slack, a key associate of Aston Martin’s Canadian billionaire owner Lawrence Stroll, has recently informed potential investors that 27-year-old Dutchman Max Verstappen will be joining the team, further fuelling speculation.
Verstappen’s current contract with Red Bull extends until 2028, but concerns about the team’s future competitiveness, especially with upcoming engine regulation changes in 2026, have sparked rumors about his potential departure.
