In recent weeks, Aston Martin's "alleged" billion-dollar contract offer to tempt Max Verstappen has caused serious resonance. Günther Steiner believes that the action will be successful because it involves an unimaginable sum…
While there is no guarantee that Aston Martin will become a world-class team, there are signs that point in that direction. Steiner claims that Verstappen will accept the offer even if the greens are not competitive:
"A billion is a huge amount. Even if Max was the last, he would do it for a billion immediately. Not many teams can afford it, but Aston definitely can, they can put a billion-dollar salary on the table. It's a very high bar, an absolute record in the history of F1, probably no one will beat it. Although, if it's true, and not just speculation ... I think it's not true. The reason I don't think it will happen is the current pair of drivers. Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll have contracts until 2026, I don't think Fernando will leave, and I also don't believe that Lawrence Stroll will sacrifice his own son on the altar of business. However, from 2027 the situation will be completely different ... " - Steiner left the door open.
