In recent weeks, a "reported" billion-dollar offer from Aston Martin to lure Max Verstappen has attracted a lot of attention. Günther Steiner claims that the offer will be successful because it is an unimaginable sum...
While there is no guarantee that Aston Martin will become world champion, there are signs that point in that direction. Steiner says Verstappen will accept the offer even if the Greens are not competitive:
"One billion is a huge number. Even if Max was the last one, he would still do it immediately for one billion. Not many teams can afford it, but Aston certainly can, they can put a billion salary on the table. This is a high bar, an absolute record in the history of F1, probably no one will ever beat it. I think if it is true and not just speculation... I think not. The reason why I don't think it will happen is the current driver pairing. Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll have a contract until 2026, I don't think Fernando would leave, and I don't believe Lawrence Stroll would sacrifice his son on the altar of business. But from 2027 the situation will completely change..." - Steiner left the door open.
