The ‘Newey soap opera’ may be living in its final chapters… and with a script twist. According to Autosprint, the Briton would have rejected Ferrari’s offer and is one step away from signing with Aston Martin.an agreement to be announced in September.
Adrian Newey is one of the most coveted men in the paddock alongside Max Verstappen. The man who is considered one of the best engineers of all time has left Red Bull and it is no secret that both Aston Martin and Ferrari are trying to achieve his inclusion, which would be the signing of the Century.
The best car designer currently in F1, the creator of the Red Bulls that won the last three titles with Max at the wheel, He assured in recent days that he will not decide on his future until the fall. And for now, he allows himself to be loved, and in a statement to ‘The Sunday Times’, he recalls what he has said on several occasions: how much he He would have liked to work with Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton.
Exactly, Fernando Alonso drives for Aston Martin and Lewis will do so for Ferrari next year. So, he identified two drivers of two teams who love him. You will have to choose one. Big dilemma for him.
“There are a series of drivers, like Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, that I would love to work with.but until now this is not the right place or time for us to join forces,” he argued.
Before him he had the choice of Ferrari and Aston Martin, two projects that wanted to be winners. The one from Ferrari seems to have won the numbers and the Italian press speculated his arrival for a few weeks, although later everything cooled down and it was said that Aston Martin invited Adrian Newey to show him their new and massive headquarters in Silverstone, equipped with the best technology.
The choice is not easy. On the one hand, going to Ferrari is to fulfill anyone’s dream in F1working with the most awarded and most recognized team on the planet, and at the same time, having a historic challenge that would mean creating a winning car and returning to glory as a mythical team without a drivers’ title since 2007 ( since 2008 without the Builders title).
The challenge will be even more iconic to join Lewis Hamilton in pursuit of a record 8 world titles. Achieving this would be the perfect end to the long and successful career of F1’s best engineer.
For his part, Adrian Newey has known Aston Martin since the English firm worked with Red Bull. In fact, Newey designed the Aston Martin Valkyrie and a few weeks ago the Briton went on holiday with a classic Aston Martin. Going with Silverstone company means no need to pack your bags for Italy or avoiding multiple trips to Maranello.
He can move on to his beloved United Kingdom, move on with his life, with his family, and in turn lead a historic project as well that wants to lead a brand as iconic as Aston Martin to reign for the first time in F1 with another great and legendary champion like Fernando Alonso. The dilemma is huge and about to be resolved.
