Should Verstappen complete the switch in the future?
Verstappen currently has a contract with Red Bull Racing until the 2028 season. Still, he could not only benefit monetarily with a move to Aston Martin with a rumoured £1 billion bid, but from 2026 onwards, he could team up with top designer Adrian Newey and Honda. The Dutchman previously achieved all four of his world titles with cars designed by the Briton and the Japanese power unit manufacturer.
A key factor could be performance on track, especially after how the RB20 fell back in the order. The answer of Verstappen’s team, that was exclusively published on GPblog.com, also suggests they are in a comfortable position, indicating to the Austrians: ‘Do your best to keep Max on board!’ In the background, for the first time in their F1 history, Red Bull will create their own power unit, in collaboration with Ford. Looking at how the Red Bull Powertrains’ unit progresses, Verstappen can have more information on whether he would like to stay.
Additionally, Aston Martin are not the only team pursuing the now four-time world champion. Throughout the entire 2024 season, Mercedes CEO and team principal Toto Wolff also expressed that he would be keep to sign Verstappen as well.
