Saudi Fund’s Astounding Move: 264 Million Euro Bid Tempts Verstappen to Aston Martin

JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA - APRIL 19: Max Verstappen of the Netherlands and Oracle Red Bull Racing talks to the crowd on the fan stage during final practice ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Saudi Arabia at Jeddah Corniche Circuit on April 19, 2025 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

In a shocking turn of events, the Saudi Sovereign Fund (PIF) is making headlines once again, this time by offering a staggering 264 million euros over three years to entice Max Verstappen to join Aston Martin. This jaw-dropping proposal, reportedly set to cover the period between 2026 and 2028, equates to a mind-blowing 88 million euros per season for the Formula 1 superstar.

The PIF, famously known for luring Cristiano Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia, already holds a 20% stake in Aston Martin Lagonda. The fund is now eyeing complete ownership of Lawrence Stroll’s team, aiming to solidify its presence in the world of motorsports. Should this deal go through, it would mark the largest transaction in Formula 1 history involving a single driver.

Verstappen’s current situation at Red Bull appears to be on rocky ground, with tensions rising following conflicts within the team and a lack of competitiveness in the car’s performance. Speculations have been rife about the Dutch driver’s potential exit, with reports suggesting that a deal with Aston Martin has already been finalized, despite Mercedes also vying for his signature.

While Verstappen has remained tight-lipped about his future, focusing on improving his current performance, the allure of a lucrative offer from Aston Martin could prove too tempting to resist. With clauses in his contract allowing for early termination based on performance criteria, the possibility of a move to Aston Martin seems increasingly plausible.

For Aston Martin, securing Verstappen would be a game-changer, adding to their recent investments in cutting-edge facilities, renowned personnel like Adrian Newey, and a partnership with Honda. The potential acquisition of Verstappen could catapult the team into serious title contention as they gear up for the new era of Formula 1 regulations set to kick in from 2026 onwards.

As the motorsport world eagerly awaits Verstappen’s decision, the prospect of witnessing him don the iconic Aston Martin colors is enough to send shockwaves through the racing community. Will this mega-deal come to fruition, or will other contenders swoop in to snatch the coveted driver? Only time will tell in this high-stakes Formula 1 saga.
