Aston Martin CEO and team principal Andy Cowell has recently talked about the rumored $1B contract talks with Max Verstappen from earlier in this year. In line with this, Cowell has asserted that the rumors can be seen as a sign of the potential of the Silverstone-based team in the coming years of F1.
Max Verstappen to leave Red Bull?
Max Verstappen is one of the biggest racers on the modern F1 grid. He has been competing in the sport since 2015, and in the past four years, has won four consecutive world championships.
When Christian Horner was leading Red Bull before his sacking in July, there were a few instances when Verstappen was heavily linked with the Lawrence Stroll-owned team.
However, during the Hungarian Grand Prix race weekend, the Dutchman put a halt to all kinds of speculations by saying that he was going to continue with Red Bull at least for 2026. With some time having passed since then, Andy Cowell has taken the time to address the Verstappen rumores and added:
"Max showing media interest – I don't know what the right phrase is, but Max showing media interest is flattering. In his opinion, he can see that this is a team that's determined and that is taking the right steps." (Via: Autosport).
Other than Aston Martin, before his announcement during the Hungarian Grand Prix race weekend, was linked with Toto Wolff's Mercedes F1 side.
