The most recent report from the Italian publication Autosprint suggests that Red Bull's chief technical officer Adrian Newey, has already signed a contract with
, has already signed a contract with Aston Martin, securing his future in F1 with the Silverstone outfit. Now though, Aston Martin has championship leader Max Verstappen on its radar, with plans to sign him for 2026 and beyond.
The report indicated that Newey has been enticed by a lucrative offer from billionaire Aston Martin team owner Lawrence Stroll. This opportunity allows Newey to remain in the UK and work with a team that has seen substantial investment and significant upgrades to its infrastructure and facilities in recent years.
This could be a strong proposition considering Verstappen's close association with Honda, Red Bull's current engine supplier, which is also set to solely supply engines to Aston Martin from 2026. Japanese manufacturer's engines set the benchmark in F1 in 2021, coinciding with the introduction of the current engine freeze. As a result, the Dutchman might find it more sensible to race with a proven Honda-powered car rather than gamble on an untested Red Bull Powertrain engine in 2026.
Additionally, there have been reported tensions between Horner and Verstappen's father, Jos Verstappen. The situation was further exacerbated by the announcement of Adrian Newey's departure, the mastermind behind Red Bull's title contender. These factors collectively provide several compelling reasons for Verstappen to potentially look elsewhere.
