Aston Martin target Max Verstappen in £1BILLION deal for Red Bull's four-time world champion to turn Formula One on its head - after signing up £20m-a-year star designer Adrian Newey

Aston Martin are telling potential sponsors that Max Verstappen will join them in their ambitious bid to win the world title, in a £1billion deal that would be one of the biggest in the history of sport. The four-time world champion’s contract could be worth up to £1billion across the remainder of his career and would almost certainly include equity in the Silverstone-based team.

Mail Sport has been told that Jefferson Slack, a close lieutenant of Aston Martin’s Canadian billionaire owner Lawrence Stroll, has recently made pitches to potential investors claiming that the 27-year-old Dutchman will be joining them. That is a firm desire rather than a certain fact, for now. Verstappen has stated within the last few weeks that he would ideally see out his illustrious career at Red Bull, where he has wrought all his consecutive successes and is contracted until 2028.

However, Verstappen’s outstanding talent marks him out as the single commodity all team bosses would most dream of enlisting – not least a serial winner in business like the fashion mogul Stroll. Verstappen currently earns some £50m a year. Only seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, starting at Ferrari this year, matches that figure – potentially exceeding it when bonuses are added on.
