Alonso opens the door to Newey: “It’s good news for us”

Date:

Adrian Newey He is one of the most important people in the history of F1, another, revolutionary car designer, who made Red Bull great thanks to his ideas and his way of turning them into reality. Now, after almost 20 years at Red Bull, he has announced his farewell to the energy drinks team and no one on the grid does not wish him well. Big groups like the man who, among many other things, makes a difference with his current aerodynamic concept car that has made Verstappen and red bull dominate F1 unopposed since the 2022 rule change Among the main candidates to hire their services are Aston Martin and Ferrari.

The green team could be a big challenge for Newey and has all the ingredients to fight at the top in a few years: money, lots of money, new facilities, a new wind tunnel under construction, a new simulator, engineers who signed from the big teams and a champion like Alonso in command of runway operations. However, Ferrari seems to be the clearest option. To such an extent that in Italy they consider his signing for Ferrari almost done. Newey could join Hamilton’s signing bombshell to try to bring glory back to the red team after F1’s rule change in 2026. This challenge looks more media-worthy and will further boost Newey’s figure if he managed to create a champion car for the Maranellos.

Despite this, Fernando Alonso threw the bait and praised the figure of Adrian Newey, who opened the doors of his team to him in case he decides to wear green.

“Newey is a sports legend. I feel privileged to be competing at this time in Formula 1 and for the last 20 years sharing the sport with Adrian (Newey). Obviously, as a competitor, but it’s a privilege. The fact that they are associating him with Aston Martin is a good sign and good news for us, that they are associating him, a legend of this sport, with Aston Martin,” the Spaniard said in remarks on the F1 microphone ahead of Miami GP.


However, the Asturian made it clear that regardless of what Newey does, Aston Martin already has the talent capable of creating a winning car in 2026: “But we are also very happy with our technical department. We will see what their decision is. Whether or not they continue working in the paddock. The most important thing is that we focus on the new 2026 regulations.”
