Verstappen warned ‘you win with Ferrari, Mercedes, not Aston Martin’

After a fresh report linked Max Verstappen to Aston Martin, Jacques Villeneuve has warned the four-time champ that wins come with teams like Ferrari and Mercedes, “not with Aston Martin”.

Should Max Verstappen swap Red Bull for Aston Martin?

While that didn’t materialise, the Dutchman committed to Red Bull with Mercedes signing Kimi Antonelli, the first rumour of 2025 has already emerged with the Daily Mail claiming Aston Martin’s managing director of commercial and marketing Jefferson Slack has been wooing potential sponsors by claiming four-time F1 champ Verstappen is set to join the team.

But when it comes to Verstappen being that person, Villeneuve told Action Network: “Max Verstappen would be more like, what’s my next step? You win with Ferrari, you win with Mercedes not with Aston Martin. Like Lewis Hamilton, he wants to win.”
