Let’s charge through the day’s main F1 headlines at the speed of light… F1 news: Max Verstappen, Aston Martin rumours and more Max Verstappen camp reacts to Aston Martin rum

Juan Pablo Montoya believes Max Verstappen joining Aston Martin one day “wouldn’t be the most surprising thing in the world”, given his links to Honda and Adrian Newey. Design legend Newey will be joining Aston Martin from Red Bull officially from early March,

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 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.

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 is not attempting to woo sponsors by using Max Verstappen's name as a lure, a spokesperson has clarified.

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.

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?
