Stunning reports out of England has linked four-time F1 driver’s champion Max Verstappen to a blockbuster move to Aston Martin for what would be the biggest contract in sporting history.

Max Verstappen to Aston Martin rumours have re-emerged this week, although the Dutchman's heart is still with Red Bull.

Aston Martin have denied that they are preparing a £1 billion deal to sign four-time F1 world champion Max Verstappen. Crash.net understands that a report by the Daily Mail, which suggested Aston Martin are upping their efforts to sign Red Bull's Verstappen, is wide of the mark.

Aston Martin are attempting to sign Max Verstappen from Red Bull in a deal worth around £1billion – by far the most lucrative in Formula 1 history. But former F1 champion Jacques Villeneuve has explained why the Dutchman will have no interest in joining the British team any time soon.

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.
