Rumours of a purported 1 billion dollar move by Aston Martin for Max Verstappen have been denied by the team itself, but would the four-time world champion even entertain such an offer?

Aston Martin has firmly denied rumors of preparing a record-breaking $1.2 billion offer to lure four-time F1 world champion Max Verstappen.

Max Verstappen’s team offered a coy response when asked about the Formula 1 champion’s links to Aston Martin. Verstappen has been indomitable at Red Bull, winning the last four driver’s titles, yet he has been linked with a stunning £1bn move to Aston Martin.

Aston Martin’s interest in Max Verstappen is no secret. The Daily Mail revealed last week that potential sponsors were informed of Verstappen’s move to the team. No timeline was specified, but speculation points to 2026 as a likely entry year.
