The four-time world champion’s future at Red Bull was the subject of strong speculation throughout 2024 due to the team’s internal power struggles, which even saw Verstappen threaten to quit.

Mercedes were one of the main teams linked to the Dutchman following their own bombshell news that Lewis Hamilton was quitting the team for Ferrari for 2025.
But according to Mail Sport, Aston Martin have told potential sponsors Verstappen will join their team as part of their ambitious bid to win the F1 world championship.
The reported deal would be worth up to £1bn, making it one of the most lucrative in F1 history.
Sources suggest Jefferson Slack, a close confidante of billionaire team owner, Lawrence Stroll, has made pitches to would-be investors claiming the 27-year-old will join them.
