Saudi Arabian oil giant Aramco could take over the Aston Martin F1 team and then look to make a sensational move for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and Adrian Newey. 

According to , Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll could be open to selling the en𝐆tire team - or a controlling stake - having already sold a minor stake to US-based Arctos Partner.

Aramco are c꧙urrently Aston Martin’s title sponsor, with the oil company’s market worth an eye-watering $2.025 trillion.

Their net income for 2023 was $121.3 billion so taking over an existing F1 team would just be ♓pocket change.

The latest report sug👍gests that if Aramco were to take over Aston Martin, Verstappen and Newey would be their top targets.

Even though Verstappen has committed his long-term future to Red Bull until 🀅2028, he could be tempted away.

Red Bull have been at the centre of an off-track saga involving Chri🌜stian Horner.

It started in February, with Horner investigated following allegation🏅s of inappropriate behaviour fr🔴om a female employee.

While Horner was cleared of any wrongdoing, th꧙e situation ꦫrumbled on.

It seems that Horner has had the🙈 backing of the Thai side of Red Bull's pa💖rent company, while the Austrian side - and the Verstappen’s - would prefer he quit as team boss.

Rumblings of an inteꦯrnal dispute became apparent after Bahrain when Jos Versꦏtappen made clear that Horner’s actions could risk tearing the team apart.

Similarly in Saudi Arabia𒉰, Max made clear that he was loyal to Helmut Marko, whose future was in question after suggestions he could be suspended by Red Bull.

The reigning world champion has been linked with Mercedes in recent weeks as a possible 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton r🐓eplacement, but 𝕴Aston Martin could make more sense.

Aston Martin ඣwill be powered by Honda from 2026, and under new ownership and greateꦍr financial backing, signing Verstappen and possibly Newey could be a reality.
