Aston Martin told to address Lance Stroll “question mark” amid $1bn deal rumour
“Long-term the biggest dilemma💎 for them is the one surrounding Lance"

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aston Martin must address 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll’s long-term future if they are se🥀🃏rious about becoming F1 title winners, it has been claimed.
The ambitious Silverstone-based team denied a Daily Mail report that they have prepared an offer worth £1 billion to tempt 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen across from Red Bull.
✨However, the sig♏ning of car design genius Adrian Newey proves that Aston Martin are bullish about winning drivers’ and constructors’ prizes.
However, deciding what to do with Stroll - the son of owner Lawrence Stroll ဣ- is key to plotting their route, they have been warned.
“The biggest question mark that Aston Martin will have to address,” Lewis Larkam told 🐽the Cr💯ash F1 podcast.
“I spoke to Mike Krack in Abu Dhabi and he said critics 𓂃are right to say that the results aren’t matching what comes out.
“It’s a mid to long-term project and 2026 is the focus. 2025 will pro♒bably be similar to what we’ve seen❀.
“Long-term the biggest dilemma for them is the one surrounding Lanc♑e.
“His dad will probably ♍want to keep him in that seat. Lance, it’s hard to read him! He doesn’t look like 💜he’s enjoying himself.
“But speaking to Mike in Abu Dꦛhabi, it seems that it’s just the media side that [Lance] doesn’t enjoy.
“Ultimately if we’re talking about having the best driver line-up, and if they want to be serious title contenders, I’d be picking Ver🐼stappen and Alonso, not replacing Alonso with Verstappen.
“That, to me, is the line-up that puts you in contention for at least the co🐼nstructors’.
“Part of me t💖hinks Lance would be a 🤪good teammate for Max!
“He obviously wouldn’𓃲t challenge Max, and Max would lead the charge. He’s shown at Red Bull he can do the heavy lifting of bagging points and winning points on his own.
“Bu꧒t from a purely competitive side, I don’t see where Lance fits in if they’re truly serious about becoming🌱 serial winners.”
Max Verstappen 'interest' in Aston Martin?
There is no confirmation to Aston Martin’s interest in Verstappen, but the onset of the 2026 regulations could level the pla💫ying field.
Aston Martin hope that Newey will create them a car fast enough for the title, which in turn could tempt any driver o🌳n the grid.
“From Aston Martin’s perspective, of course they would be interested in 🌳signiꦆng Max,” Lewis Larkam added.
“If they are🍷 truly serious about having title ambitions in the future and becoming a front-running, race-winning team, then they need to have the best team. They are in the process of putting those building blocks in place with high-profile signings.
“They also need the best driver aꩵnd there is ⛦no better driver than Max.
“From their point of view, they wouꩲld absolutely want Max.
“The bigger question mark is whether Max w🔜ants that move.
“This season, the story of Verstapp♚en’s future will continue to rumble on.
“He is contracted to R🌠ed Bull untilꦓ 2028 but contracts mean very little in F!
“He wants to put himself in the best position to win🌼.
“I do think the idea of a new challenge would appeal to him. He has mentioned multiple times that outright success is no🌟t something that drives him.
“Would he be interested in♑ that project? I think he would be. The foundations are becoming a reality, everything we hear is very positive, they have brought in Adrian Newey.
“He didn’t rule out tꦬhe possibility of one day reuniting with Newey.
But clearly from a pure performance point of view, Aston Martin are not there, at the momꦰent. That’s something ꦗthat Verstappen would have to factor in.
“I don’t think he’d join a team where Aston Martin currently are. W🌳ould it happen in 2026? That’s another 🥀question mark.”
