According to well-informed members of the international press, the Max Verstappen case has officially gone beyond the rumor level: the Greens are trying to lure the world champion with an incredible sum!
The timing is no coincidence, as during the weekend of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, information came to light that the Saudi Crown Prince wanted to buy Lawrence Stroll out of his team. It wouldn't be the first time the man had purchased a world-class athlete for unimaginable sums...
In any case, Christian Horner and Helmut Marko are loudly demanding that Red Bull become more competitive as quickly as possible, which could also be due to the fact that Verstappen's contract contains a performance clause. This could come into effect in the summer months, meaning that if RB doesn't improve significantly, it's quite possible that the Dutchman will actually move to Aston Martin. One thing we can say for sure: financial resources will not play a role in his signing. At least not at Aston... Rumors speak of $300 million, which would be at least the F1 deal of the century.
