lor of Red Bull In 2024, it is being the most entertaining soap opera in F1. It all started with him horner case (the head of the team received an accusation of harassment from an employee) and the last episode of this soap opera has been the confirmation of the departure of Adrian Newey.
The brilliant F1 car designer seems destined to land at Ferrari. Although, for now, it has not been made official where he will go after he finishes his project of the hypercar from Red Bull (the RB17). After the first third of 2025 you will be free to start a new adventure… or not.
In statements to sky sports, Newey has played hide and seek. “I think I’ll travel with my wife and we’ll just enjoy life. Then maybe at some point, I don’t know when, I’ll get in the shower and say, ‘Okay, this is going to be the next adventure.’ Right now there is no plan“, he specified.
Newey, lost in thought.
Hamilton’s compliments
Even when they have told him that Lewis Hamilton would be pleased to have him at Ferrarithe F1 aerodynamics guru threw balls out… in an elegant way: “Honestly, it’s very nice of Lewis to say that and I’m very flattered, but “Right now it’s time to take a little break and see what happens next.”
He has not even given clues when he has been reminded that in 2026 there are significant changes to the technical regulations. “What we have had recently is the biggest change in the technical regulations in recent history in F1 (2022). We would have to go back to 1983, when flat-bottom cars arrived, to find something similar. So I really enjoyed the challenge of all the research and detailed design of that car. These two later cars are evolutions of that car and next year’s car will be the third evolution of that car. When I first looked at the regulations, I wasn’t so sure. But yeah, it’s been fun,” he added with a poker face.
Marko sees him in green
Although in the paddockmost think that Newey will join the ranks of Ferrari and even in the British press there has been speculation about the possibility that his wife Amanda is already looking for a home in Italy, there are those who do not share that theory.
Marko shares a confidence with Newey.
Away from the mainstream, Helmut Marko He has presented a different point of view. “What color do I see Newey in the future? I think the red clashes a little with the dark blue. But I believe that everything is possible with a great color like green.“, said.
And Aston Martin does not let go
The fact is that in Aston Martin They are not either for the work of showing his letters. There has been talk of a great offer of Lawrence Stroll so that Newey is a key piece in the gears of a squad that has Fernando Alonso as the main guarantee.
“I think Newey’s story speaks for itself, if someone like him leaves a team, it always causes a lot of commotion. I already said it recently. I think it was a clear answer, but no one took it seriously. We are very happy with our technical team and we will continue with them“, he indicated Mike Krackhead of Aston Martin, when asked about the possibility of signing the award-winning designer.
