Aston Martin told to address Lance Stroll “question mark” amid $1bn deal rumour
“Long-te𒁃rm the biggest dജilemma for them is the one surrounding Lance"

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aston Martin must address 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lance Stroll’s long-term future if they 🍌are serious about 🃏becoming F1 title winners, it has been claimed.
The ambitious Silverstone-based team denied a Daily Mail report that they have prepared an offer worth £1 billion to tempt 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen across from Red Bull.
However, the signing of car design genius 𝔍Adrian Newey proves that Aston Martin are bull🔥ish about winning drivers’ and constructors’ prizes.
However, deciding what to do with Stroll - the son of owner Lawrence Stroll - is key to plotting their 🌟route, they have been warned.
“The biggest question mark that Aston Martin will have to address,” Lew🧸is Larkam told the Crash F1 podcast.
“I spoke to Mike Krack in Abu Dhabi and he said critics are right to say𓆉 that the results aren’t matching what comes out.
“It’s a mid to long-term project and 2026 is the focus.ꦛ 2025 will prob🍰ably be similar to what we’ve seen.
“Long-terꦡm the biggest dilemma for them is the one surrounding Lance.
“His dad will probably want to keep him in that seat. Lance, it’s hard to read him! 𝓡He doesn’t look like he’s enjoying himself𒊎.
“But speaking to Mike inꦯ Abu Dhabi, it seems that it’s just the media side that [Lance] doesn’t enjoy.
“Ultimately if we’re talking about having the best driver line-up, and if▨ they want to be serious title contenders, I’d be 🧸picking Verstappen and Alonso, not replacing Alonso with Verstappen.
“That, to me, is the line-up that 🤪puts you in contention for at least the constructors’.
“Part of me thinks Lance would be a good team♉mate for Max!
“He obviously wouldn’t challenge Max, and Max would lead the charge. He’s shown at Red Bull he can do the heavy lifting of bagging points and winning points on🌳 his own.
“But from a purely competitive side, I don’t see where Lance fits in if they’re truly serious aboutꦑ becoming serial winners.”
Max Verstappen 'interest' in Aston Martin?
There is no confirmation to Aston Martin’s interest in Verstapp♏en, but the onset of the 2026 regulations could level the playing field.
Aston Martin hope that Newey will create them a car fast enoug🦄h fo𓂃r the title, which in turn could tempt any driver on the grid.
“From Aston Martin🦩’s perspective, of course they would be interested in signing Max,” Lewis La🏅rkam added.
“If they are truly serious about having title ambitions in the future and becoming a front-running, race-winning team, then they need to꧑ have the best team. Th𓄧ey are in the process of putting those building blocks in place with high-profile signings.
“They also need the best driver a🐎nd there is no 🐬better driver than Max.
“From their point of🗹 view, they would absolutely want Max.
“Th🦩e bigger question mark is whether Max wants that move.
“This season, the story of Verstap💛pen’s future will continue to rumble on.
“He is contracted to Red Bull until 2028 but contract♑s mean very little in F!
“He wants to put himself 🍌in the best position to win.
“I do think the idea of a new challeng▨e would appeal to hiꦯm. He has mentioned multiple times that outright success is not something that drives him.
“ౠWould he be interested in that project? I t🌊hink he would be. The foundations are becoming a reality, everything we hear is very positive, they have brought in Adrian Newey.
“He didn’t ꦏrule out the possibility of one day r💝euniting with Newey.
But clearly from a pure perfor𒐪mance point of view, Aston Martin are not ther🌌e, at the moment. That’s something that Verstappen would have to factor in.
“I don’t think he’d join a team where Aston Martin currently are. Would it happe♓n in 2026? That’s another question💫 mark.”
