Max Verstappen Shuts Down Aston Martin Rumors: ‘I Haven’t Thought About It’

Reigning Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen has firmly dismissed persistent rumors linking him with a potential move to Aston Martin in 2026, reiterating his commitment to Red Bull Racing. The speculation arose following reports of discussions between the Dutch driver and Aston Martin, fueled by Adrian Newey’s impending move to the Silverstone-based team and the upcoming regulatory shake-up in 2026.


“Nothing at All”: Verstappen Denies Talks
Verstappen, who is contracted with Red Bull until 2028, was quick to quash the rumors, stating unequivocally that he has not entertained the idea of leaving Milton Keynes.

“No, I haven’t talked about that at all, just nothing at all. At the moment, I haven’t thought about that at all,” Verstappen said, addressing the speculation head-on.

While the Dutchman has an exit clause in his contract that could technically allow for a move before 2028, Verstappen’s comments suggest he is fully focused on his current team.


The 2026 Regulation Reset: An Opening for Aston Martin?
The next major Formula 1 regulation change in 2026 has positioned Aston Martin as a team to watch. With the team transitioning to a works partnership with Honda and welcoming Red Bull’s legendary aerodynamicist Adrian Newey, Aston Martin is widely regarded as a potential front-runner in the new era.

However, Verstappen appears unfazed by the prospects of change.

“In 2026, of course, there will also be new rules. But at the moment I’m not that busy with that, to be honest,” he said, underscoring his confidence in Red Bull’s long-term competitiveness.


Why the Speculation?
The Verstappen-to-Aston Martin rumors gained traction following Newey’s decision to leave Red Bull for Aston Martin, along with the team’s growing reputation as an emerging powerhouse in Formula 1. Pairing Honda’s engines with Newey’s technical expertise has sparked discussions about Aston Martin’s potential to challenge Red Bull’s dominance.

Nevertheless, Verstappen has often expressed loyalty to Red Bull, a team that has helped him secure multiple world championships. While Formula 1 is known for its unpredictable nature, Verstappen’s bond with the team appears stronger than ever, making a sudden move unlikely—at least for now.


Could 2026 Change the Equation?
Formula 1 fans know that the sport is full of surprises, and Verstappen’s future could hinge on Red Bull’s performance in the coming seasons. Should the team face unexpected struggles, the speculation of a move could reignite. Until then, Verstappen remains Red Bull’s cornerstone, fully invested in the team that has defined his success.

“I’m not someone who thinks too far ahead when I’m happy where I am,” Verstappen hinted in prior interviews.

For now, Aston Martin’s hopes of landing the Dutchman seem like wishful thinking, with Verstappen focused on continuing his reign at Red Bull.
