Aston Martin team boss Mike Krack says the ‘door is always open’ for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen amid speculation they will make a move for the Red Bull F1 driver following the signing of Adrian Newey.

On Tu𒉰esday, Aston Martin unveiled Newey✨ as the head of their technical team from 2025.

Given Newey’s links to Verst▨appen at Red Bull, and Aston Martin teaming up with Honda from 2026, speculation about a move from Lawrence Stroll for the three-time world champion is already rife.

Speaking on Thursday at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Krack was asked about the prospect of signing Vཧerstappen.

He said: “The door for M✅ax Verst🐭appen is always open, for everything.”

It’s likely Aston Martin won’t be able to sign Verstappen until 2027, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso locked in until the end of 2026.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll’s future is secure given his father, Lawrence, ow💮ns the team.

Krack feels the👍 signing of Newey will have an immediate impact.

“It will make a difference for everybody starting with the staff,” he explaiꩲned. “When you manage to appoint Adrian Newey, it’s first of all, it’s a proof that the proje☂ct is credible.

“That the whole vision of Lawrence is not only words but action. That we can take confidence as a teaဣm. This is not any more underdogs like it used to be in the p💮ast. It’s a team that should be confident it can do it.

“You have a completely different approach now with partners. Same for race drivers. I think it opens a lot of doors for the future.”

He added: “We will be more attractive in every area, just because of signing. Due to the increased credibility because it proves this project can really achieve its targets and if I was in university and would see this signing, I would say: 'I can probably learn most there, so let's try to get there'. Soꦰ I think there will be that e꧂ffect.”
