Aston martin as of yet resembles the appearance of a Blank Canvas that is ready to be painted by the fervent passion of new Ace Racers and the objective of being the champions. The union of two of the sharpest minds in the F1 word Andy Cowell and Adrian Newey is ready to give the team a push that would be quite amusing to witness.
While Fernando has been the ace up Aston martin’s sleeve, his presence does not suffice the grand ambitions that Lawrence Stroll has for the team. The potential that the new team can bring to the season is unprecedented. And beyond all that the rumor’s of Max Verstappen joining the Aston Martin keeps on keeping the F1 fans on their toes.
Lawrence’s Unique Approach
Aston’s previous few years have not been ground breaking. With a few podiums courtesy of Fernando Alonso the team has not been the flag bearers of great performance. But Lawrence Stroll has a divergent strategy, where every time he fails he invests and funnels further money to ensure that such issues do not appear again. His strategy is that of analyzing his fails to decipher the formula that leads to total success and domination.
How did the Verstappen’s Move To Aston Rumor’s Started
In a recent report the British News Paper the Mail reported that the Aston Martin’s marketing boss Jefferson Slack has been trying to woo and impress the potential sponsors by claiming that Verstappen would join Aston Martin in near future.
The rumour mill has gone berserk with the fans further adding the fuel to fire by crafting stories and narratives. But an Aston Martin Aramco spokes person has denied the story but the bandwagon effect of the rumor’s still continues to haunt the internet. Fernando Alonso as well as Stroll would continue to be under the contract of Aston Martin for at least next two years.
As per further probe it has become clear that Verstappen’s contract with Redbull contains a “performance Element” which means that the F1 star could walk away from the team if they fail at providing him a competitive car before 2028. As per the clause Verstappen would be free to move from Redbull if he is lower than third in the drivers championship after a significant portion of the 2025 racing season has been competed.
The shift of Newey to Aston Martin along with Robert Doornbos claims that “will do everything to sway him, sparing no expense has further added to the rumour mill. Doornbos had previously also intended that Verstappen can possibly join Mercedes for F1 2026, with relations being strong between the teams being strong.
