An ex-Formula 1 star has backed Max Verstappen and Adrian Newey to reunite at Aston Martin in the future, following rumours of a Red Bull exit for the champion. Verstappen has recently claimed his fourth world championship, with all his titles having come consecutively in a stunning period of dominance with Red Bull .

Former F1 ace Juan Pablo Montoya believes that Max Verstappen will swap Red Bull for Mercedes at some point over the coming years. The Dutchman’s future looks stable for now, but if the Milton Keynes squad fail to hand him a car capable of fighting for titles, he may get itchy feet.

The Formula 1 season finale in Abu Dhabi promises to be fraught with anger as the war of words between Red Bull and Mercedes escalated.
