The Daily Mail, a well-known British newspaper, has dropped a bombshell that could soon explode: Aston Martin is allegedly preparing a massive contract for Max Verstappen. It seems that the Aston Martin owner is keen to bring the four-time world champion to his team to work once again with Adrian Newey.
Aston Martin is seeking to attract potential sponsors with an ambitious plan that includes Max Verstappen in its bid to win the world title. The deal could reportedly reach an extraordinary £1 billion, making it one of the largest in sports history.
A staggering offer for Max Verstappen to join Adrian Newey at Aston Martin
Sources at Daily Mail Sport revealed that Jefferson Slack, a trusted associate of Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll, has recently pitched proposals to potential investors, stating that the 27-year-old Dutch driver is destined to join the team.
For now, however, this remains more of an aspiration than a certainty. Max Verstappen has recently expressed his desire to end his career at Red Bull. With the Austrian team, he has achieved consecutive successes and is contracted until 2028.
Lawrence Stroll, a prominent businessman active beyond F1, is well aware of the value of a champion like Max Verstappen. The Aston Martin owner understands how a four-time world champion can impact not only on-track performance but also the team’s commercial appeal.
Currently, Max Verstappen earns approximately £50 million per year. Only seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who began his journey with Ferrari this year, can match that figure, with the potential to exceed it through bonuses.
