Warning for Adrian Newey’s success could ironically help to tempt Max Verstappen
"It might take a couple of years but that may tiღe in better for Verstappen"

Adrian Newey might not get off to a flying start at 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aston Martin, but that could help a pursuit of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen, it has been claimed.
Newey begin♔s work as Aston Martin’s chief technical partner and a shareholder next month, a move which could give them the edge when the 2026 ru🌸les begin.
However, the team have been warned tha🌄t his progress might be slow - yet it could enable them to snare Verstappen at a later date.
“There is the hint that [the new regulations] will come down to engine formula, like it did ♈in 2014, so his good work could be hidden by how well Honda are doing😼,” Connor McDonagh told the Crash F1 podcast.
“In 2014 with Red Bull, they had a good chassis which he designed. “But the power unit from Renault was awful so Mercedeওs dominated.
"A🐲ston Martin’s chances will coꩵme down to the power unit.
“Obviously, Newey’s magic will come into effect with the chassis 𝐆regulations but it will take time."
Max Verstappen to Aston Martin in 2027?
“Newey starts in March but teams could start work froꦆm January so he is ꦫa couple of months behind," Connor McDonagh added.
“It’s interesting to see how long it takes.ꦐ I’d be shocked if Aston Martin were the team to beat in 2026.
“It might take a couple 🔯of years but that༒ may tie in better for Max Verstappen.
“He could ge෴t to 2026 and see ‘is it Mercedes, Ferrari, Aston Martin or 𒅌Red Bull?’
“He can then decide which team to join.
“It also depends how patient Lawrence Stro♚ll is. He has invested so much with the ne🅷w factory and all the big signings.
“He will expect i♋t to come good eventually. But will it? There are no guarantees in F1.”
Ast🤡on Martin denied a Daily Mail report that 🌌a £1 billion offer had been prepped to recruit Verstappen from Red Bull.
Verstappen’s future 🐻continues to b🌼e debated because of the new 2026 regulations.
Those fresh rules mean any team could burst out of the gates with the f𓃲astest car whic♔h could keep them in front for a generation.
Aston Martin hope that Newey’s genius ca💎n create the quickest F1 car on the grid for 2026 and beyond, which could in turn at🌱tract the top drivers.
Verstappen is contracted to Red Bull until 2028.
