Coronel peers into crystal ball: Verstappen to race for THIS team in 2026!

Many teams have been mentioned in relation to Max Verstappen's possible move. Aston Martin, Mercedes and Alpine are just a few of them. However, Tom Coronel doesn't think a move is happening.

Aston Martin is one of the teams that has seemed the most ambitious about bringing Verstappen on board. Both Adrian Newey and Andy Cowell are now at the helm of the British-based team

Coronel said on VIAPLAY, "They've hired good people. But that's it. The story is there, but the car isn't. That's the case every time. Alonso has been waiting for it for four years now."

This makes him believe that Verstappen would not be leaving Red Bull Racing, even for a lot of money.

Coronel makes a prediction about Verstappen

His prediction? Verstappen will stay where he is. He said, "One hundred percent. Really. It's all, everyone talks; it's complete nonsense."

The Dutch analyst mentions how Red Bull is where Verstappen started.

"Red Bull made him big. He started with Red Bull. He has become world champion four times with Red Bull. So who says, why can't he make it again?"
