Max Verstappen has faced questions regarding the possibility of joining Adrian Newey at Aston Martin.

Adrian Newey's departure from Red Bull signifies that the most renowned car designer in Formula 1 history will embark on a new endeavor starting next season.

Newey is set to take on the role of Managing Technical Partner and become a shareholder at Aston Martin, where he will play a significant role in shaping their 2026 vehicle.

Aston Martin is optimistic that Newey will initiate a period of dominance with the introduction of the new engine rules.

Red Bull has had to refute claims that their recent challenges are connected to Newey's announcement of his departure.

"It's quite challenging; everyone discusses it frequently," Verstappen mentioned to Sky Italy.

"I like to focus on the future because it gives us something to discuss and allows us to imagine how things might change."

"However, this won't alter our circumstances, and it's crucial to focus on the future to understand how we can improve and grow."

There are indications that Aston Martin's next strategic move might be to bring in the leading driver from Formula 1.

This implies that Verstappen would once more be behind the wheel of a car designed by Newey.

He mentioned that others discuss the topic of his move to Aston Martin in 2026 much more frequently than he does.

"I feel quite at ease, focusing solely on driving while working to identify my issues and find ways to get better."

"After that, I return to my house and carry on with my life. I'm relatively relaxed about what lies ahead."

"For me, it's quite straightforward: I love my job, and as long as I'm having fun, I'll remain here and keep racing in Formula 1. If I decide to move on, I will."

"I'm not currently thinking about it."
