Aston martin team principal

Saudi Arabian Grand Prix: Andy Cowell dismissed speculation linking Max Verstappen with a potential move to Aston Martin, despite ongoing rumours about the reigning World Champion’s future with Red Bull.

Even though the season is only four races in, Verstappen’s relationship with Red Bull has become a major talking point in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix paddock. This followed comments from Red Bull’s motorsport adviser, Helmut Marko, who admitted he had “great concern” over Verstappen’s future with the team.

Marko’s remarks led to a flurry of questions directed at Verstappen during Thursday’s official press conference in Jeddah, with Aston Martin being floated as a possible landing spot - even though the team currently has Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll under contract through at least 2026.
