Hamilton’s reaction when asked about Newey’s future

He’s the guy everyone wants. Adrian Newey He was the best engineer of the past decades and the mastermind behind the aerodynamic concept that dominates today. F1 with Red Bull, and after the announcement of his departure from the energy drinks team, several teams have already heard his name. There is talk about Aston Martin, as an important part for its ambitious project of continuous growth to make it a winner, as well as McLaren, but above all, it is stronger than ever to be an important ally of Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari. In fact, according to ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’, the Principal Team of Ferrari, Fred Vasseurmet this week with Newey and, always according to the Italian press, his signing for the ‘scuderia rossa’ could be announced after Miami GP.

As such, Newey’s future was the main topic of the FIA’s official press conference ahead of the Miami GP. Lance Stroll talks about the possibility of his father tempting him with his money and project: “Time will tell”. AND’Checo’ Pérez regretted his departure from Red Bull but he remembered that Newey did not win alone and that the group of people with him was ready to continue the winning. But above all, The reaction that Lewis Hamilton had when asked about a possible signing of Newey for Ferrari drew attention which will create a Vasseur-Hamilton-Newey trident that wants to emulate the Todt-Schumacher-Brawn of the 2000s.

They asked him if he wanted to work with them at Ferrari. His reaction was more than what he said. “Many”, he assured, with a mischievous and menacing smile that spoke for itself. And that smile continued on his face when he was asked what Newey could contribute to the Maranello team.

“Adrian is known for his track record and he’s obviously done a great job throughout his career, the knowledge he has … I think he’ll be a great signing. “They’re a great team, the car is faster this year and they are making steps forward and it will be great to work with them,” argument.

“many”he repeated when asked again if he wanted to share a team with Adrian from April 2025, where Newey would not have to spend the mandatory break time between projects as is usually the case in most cases.

mysterious silence

In addition, Lewis Hamilton was asked if Ferrari told him that it wanted to sign Adrian Newey at the time that the transfer of the 7-time champion to the Italian team from 2025 did not want to confirm or deny, but the response was his has again left good hints as to what might happen.

“They’re private conversations. If you’re going to make a list of people to hang out with, you’re definitely going to be at the top of that list. The rest, I don’t know, we’ll see.” And later they persisted again. Lewis stood his ground: “I can’t tell you. I can’t tell you what we’re talking about.”

He spoke further when he assessed what it means to have Newey as an opponent for all these years: “When I joined McLaren we had the evolution of something that was his car, a car that changed into a concept that he designed. It’s a privilege to compete against him. But you have to remember that it’s a team, not a single person all his experience, the people working with him will continue to do a great job so I don’t expect Red Bull not to make good cars in the future.
