Lawrence Stroll is not giving up. After acquiring Adrian Newey, he has another target in his sights. The businessman wants to see three-time world champion Max Verstappen next in green!
And knowing how Aston Martin works, we already know that if they want something, they will get it sooner or later. However, Verstappen's courtship raises quite a few questions. Most notably, if the Dutchman were to move from the declining Red Bull to Aston, who would he replace...
"Our already serious project has become much more attractive, simply because we have acquired Adrian Newey. He is the walking proof that we can really achieve our goals. Our credibility has increased in the eyes of many, I am quite sure that Max Verstappen also looks at us completely differently. Very differently. He is the driver that everyone wants to get their hands on, and for such a credible project as ours, he could be the next step. I know that Lawrence's name is also in his plans, and when he says something, words are followed by real actions.
"This gives us confidence and allows us to approach our partners and drivers differently. Signing Newey was just the first step, which will open many doors. Even before Max Verstappen," said Mike Crack, the team principal of the team, with extraordinary confidence.
