Former F1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya has predicted 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen will receive an “offer he can’t 🅘refuse” from Aston Martin.

Reigning world champion Verstappen’s future remains a hot topic which has sparked debate in the F1 paddock despite him being contracted to168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Red Bull untꦯil the 𒈔end of 2028, and having reiterated his commitment to the team.

In January, the Daily Mail reported that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aston Martin were willing t🎐o offer Verstappen an astronomical deal worth $1 billion over the rest of his career as part of a bid to lure him away from Red Bull.

Although the report was immediately denied by Aston Martin, the team are understood to want to sign Verstappen and reunite the Dutchman with legendary desi♈gner Adrian Newey, who joined from Rꦇed Bull.

Seven-time grand prix winner Montoya reckons Verstappen leꦿaving Red Bull fo൩r Aston Martin is an inevitable outcome.

“I think Max will ge⛄t an offer he can’t refuse from Ast☂on Martin,” Montoya told .

“He might give Red Bull a chance for a year and a ♔chance for Adrian to start figuring it out. Adrian can’t do that immediately. It's a new whole group and everyone needs to start working t𝓰ogether.

“Are they going to be better than where the꧟y are next year? For sure. But I don't think the📖y're going to start winning a string of races.

“But if Red Bull struggles in year one, then it wouldn🎀't surprise me if by race three Max has already signed with somebody else.

“If I was Max, I would go to Aston. Mercedes would be cool too, but Aston would be the logical choice having Adrian and Hinda. Everything he has won w⛎ith is there🐭.”

Verstappen joining Aston Martin would end Alonso’s career

Aston Martin currently have168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Fernando Alonso and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll, the son of the team’s billionaire owner Lawrence,♏ underꦍ contract for 2026.

Montoya is convinced that if Aston Martin successfully signed Verstappen, that would spell th🐻e end of Alonso’s t🏅ime in F1.

The two-time world champion, who turns 44🦂 in July, would be the driver to make way, according to Mo𝓰ntoya.

“If Verstappen joined Aston Mar🌠tin, Fernando Alonso will retire and become an ambassador for life for the company,” the Colombian continued.

“Fernando would be pissed off to a point, but it's the right choice. If you take Lance out of the equation, theไn you lose Lawrence. And if you lose Lawrence, you lose everything.

“You lose Aston Martin, and then there's no Max coming. If bringing Max would mean that Lawrence would have to sacrifice Lance, that would be 💃the wro🔜ng choice for the team.

“If they forced La☂wrence to do that. I think he would say, ‘Okay, here’ the team. Over to you. Let's just sell the team, I'm not interested.’”
