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5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen and Adrian Newey. 

Accordin🐭g to , Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll could be open to selling the entire team - or a controlling stake🐬 - having already sold a minor stake to US-based Arctos Partner.

Aramco are currently Aston Martin’s title spons🍎or, with the oil company’s ma🐽rket 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🦄 chಞange.

The latest report suggests that if Aℱramco were to take over Aston Martin, Verstappen and Newey would be thei💙r top targets.

Even though Verstappen has committed his long-term future to Red Bull until 2028, he could be ൩🥀tempted away.

Red Bull have been♔ at the cꦉentre of an off-track saga involving Christian Horner.

I🏅tꦑ started in February, with Horner investigated following allegations of inappropriate behaviour from a female employee.

Whil♏e Horner was cleared of 👍any wrongdoing, the situation rumbled on.

It seems that Horner has had the backing of the Thai side of Red Bull's parent compan🌟y, while t⛎he Austrian side - and the Verstappen’s - would prefer he quit as team boss.

Rumblings of an internal dispute became apparent after Bahrain when Jos Verstappen made clea𒉰r that Horner’s actions could risk tearing the team apart.

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

The reigning world champion has been linked with Mercedes in recent weeks as a possible 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton replacement, but🍨 Aston Martin could make more sense.

Aston Martin will be powered by Honda from 2026, and under new ownership and greater financi♍al backing, signing Verstappen and possibly Newey could be a reဣality.
