Max Verstappen may be the best driver in Formula 1 at the moment. So why would he even consider moving to current backmarker Aston Martin?
Hear Mark Hughes’ compelling case in the latest episode of the Motor Sport F1 Show, as he sets out why the four-time champion is considering his future, and why he’d pick the Silverstone-based team over the likes of Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren.
There’s also Fernando Alonso to consider: what happens to him if he’s displaced by Verstappen? Mark has an intriguing suggestion.

Mark and presenter Bryn Lucas also discuss who will win the team-mate batle between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, now that they both seem to be in tune with their Ferraris. How do they compare with the greatest team-mates in F1 history?
Plus your questions answered: What if Toto Wolff had signed Verstappen for Mercedes in 2014; and what’s really happening when drivers tweak the torque map and differential on their cars?
We’ll feature more listener questions next week. Don’t forget to post yours below.
