On Thursday, at a previous press conference Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in F1, Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso They were the main heroes when they mentioned their future. In Max They asked him about the possibility of leaving. Red Bull address Mercedes Or Aston Martin, and for now, Verstappen dumped the ball when referring to rumors about his future. Alonso recalled that his position was not at risk: “I have a 2026 contract,” and even piloted “an additional three or four years,” depending on his sense and motivation. And a day later, “La Gazzetta Dello Sport” began bombing this year in Formula 1. To spread four times the F1 World Championships, Max Verstappenhas arrived on the Green Team since 2026.

Alonso was asked if he would welcome Max as a partner. Aston Martin: “Yes, but that’s very unlikely.”. While Lawrence Stroll is the owner of the whole, it is clear, but his son throw It will become one of the pilots. And if Max filed Aston Martin files, that’s for Alonso. but… What if Lawrence is no longer a boss? There may be an option to see two of the best pilots in history. Fernando Alonso and Max Verstappen as Aston Martin teammates since 2026the year the Green Team wants to take advantage of major changes in the regulations of the cars and engines next to Honda to launch an era of greatest hits led by Adrian Newey, the best car designer in history. And, according to “La Gazzetta,” the background to Saudi sovereignty is that they want to buy the Aston Martin team from Lawrence Walk.

Horner completely denied it

However, Red Bull team head Christian Horner completely denied the possibility that Max would leave. Speaking of “Sky Germany,” the British were clear. “There was a lot of noise outside the team. Max reaffirmed his commitment yesterday. We’re focusing on making the car faster, and that’s what we’re focusing on. Max is part of it and he is a dedicated member of the team. The rest is speculation.”.

“Will Max continue with Red Bull in 2026?” they asked him. “Absolutely, yes,” replied Christian.

for that, Andy Cowell, Chief of the Aston Martin team He said before the report that the team was centred on the walks of current pilot couples, Fernando Alonso and Reims in 2026.

It’s the best paid contract in history

“La Gazzetta Dello Sport” says Aston Martin is willing to throw away his house through the window on an astronomical offer To get services of Max Verstappen: The best deal in history. Transalpino newspaper says A Providing 300 million dollars (264 million euros) over three seasons. In other words, $100 million per King course, 4 times F1 or the same: 88 million euros per yearwhich means 38 million more per course than the maximum Currently, Red Bull receives around 50 million euros per season.

Saudi Arabia is behind everything

All of this, according to Ragatttadello Sports He will be funded by the Sovereign Saudi Arabia Fund. The Saudi Arabian Fund, according to the aforementioned medium, wants to have its own team in Formula 1 and is determined to take the set’s wealth to Lawrence Walk.that’s what you’ll consider selling. Because that details change everything. Lance’s walks are no longer in control, even if his father stops becoming ownership.

After football and golf, Saudi Arabia wants an F1 team

Italian media recalls that the intentions of the Public Investment Fund (FPI), chaired by heir Prince Mohammed bin Salman, dominate world sports and sets an example of investment to promote the Saudi Arabian League with such a large billionaire signature Cristiano Ronaldo of Nasrand many others, or the creation of the Saudi Golf Circuit (liv), John Larm. The next step is F1. They especially want a team Aston MartinOne of its main partners is a Saudi oil company. Aramco.

To be precise, the sovereignty fund of Saudi Arabia already owns 20% of its stake in Aston Martin Lagonda, a street car company owned by Walk. And now they go to the F1 teamthe two best: Verstappen and Alonso. Or only at the maximum. Although Alonso recalls that he has a 2026 contract and has not considered moving.

but, You need to see if Lawrence is willing to take the final step to sell his team after years of investment and a very long wait. But as a successful and experienced businessman, he may not be able to reject illegals. Lawrence has been in charge of Green Box for years. After creating a new technology campus, he creates a new tunnel of wind and simulators for himself, and after achieving the signature that everyone wanted from Adrian Newey, he is increasingly closer to his goal of moving the step he wants forward from his set. But Saudi Arabia’s money could change everything.

The three-year deal fits perfectly with Max Verstappen’s will, who can leave Formula One without another ten years at “The Great Circus.” Dutch have already repeated that in many cases F1 will not be too long. Contract until the end of 2028it seems perfect to decide whether or not the Dutch will continue when he is 30, just like he is in Red Bull now (he is 27 now).

Maximum output clause

That’s also being talked about Max Verstappen has exit clauses on current contracts until 2028 and if the vehicle is not compliant, you can leave Red Bull at the end of this course. That’s the focus of Max and Red Bull, but RB21 began the year with many complications. Last week in Bahrain, Max’s manager was already seen discussing the bad performance of the car with Helmut Marco and Christian Horner. And team advisor Marco himself warned that if the car doesn’t improve, he will “risk of losing Verstappen.”

Meanwhile, Aston Martin has not been rewarded this year for placing a sinking car behind the grill. Will the best grid pilots go to the disappointing team in 2025? You may have nothing to do with each other. Max knows this year’s green car performance is because it is an evolution of the 2024 car. 2026, with Adrian Newey, Newcomer and Honda Engines creating a car, everything could changethe company that has led Verstappen to the title with Red Bull since 2021. There, Max was able to meet the Japanese.

Verstappen: “I’m focusing on improving my car.”

Despite this, Verstappen doesn’t want to talk about his future. “Think about leaving Red Bull. No, you’re focused on the comments, I’m driving…and we don’t need to think about anything else,” the current champion said. Commentator David Croft at a press conference.

“A lot of people are talking about it except for me. As I said before: I just want to focus on my car and work with my team, and that’s the only thing I’m thinking about F1 right now. I’m very relaxed.” The Dutch have been added.

Mercedes was visible on the pole to sign the champion. He was already looking for it last year, and Totowolfobsessed with Max, I keep trying. But apparently Verstappen’s economic claim is a complication for the people of the stars. “Gatsetta” makes it clear Hamilton signature by Ferrari With this bid. Also, McLaren would be out of the equation. Because, as he said in his biggest joke, Zach Brown removed his initial call desire when he began talking about money. The “B” plan in the absence of an agreement with Mercedes may be Aston Martin. And it’s suitable for rumors pointing to Mercedes’ will to renew George Russell’s contract.

Red Bull will play that this year. If you improve your car, you can retain the champion. Otherwise, Max will be able to appear in the signature of the century and star. Probably with Mercedes. Maybe with Aston Martin after Hamilton by Ferrari. He was able to form a couple with Fernando Alonso, one of his great allies of the Grill and one of the pilots who respected his achievements and maneuvering. A dream couple.
