Aston Martin were swift to firmly deny the claim that Lawrence Stroll is planning a £1billion contract offer for Max Verstappen, but the response from the Dutchman's camp was more cryptic

Aston Martin is not attempting to woo sponsors by using Max Verstappen's name as a lure, a spokesperson has clarified.

Lawrence Stroll wants to turn Aston Martin into regular F1 title challengers and wants to add Max Verstappen to their ranks after already poaching Adrian Newey from Red Bull

Aston Martin have denied that they are preparing a £1 billion deal to sign four-time F1 world champion Max Verstappen. Crash.net understands that a report by the Daily Mail, which suggested Aston Martin are upping their efforts to sign Red Bull's Verstappen, is wide of the mark.

Aston Martin are reportedly telling sponsors that Max Verstappen 'is going to be joining' in a deal worth £1 billion.

Max Verstappen could be moving to Aston Martin, according to the Daily Mail, the newspaper reported as an exclusive. However, the British medium did not say when this should happen. Moreover, a spokesman for the British team strongly denied the news.
