The incredible amount of money Newey will make at Aston Martin: more than most F1 drivers

Date:

In F1For a driver to win, he needs the best car or a car that is up to the task of fighting rivals. No matter how good a driver is, without the right car, he will never win. On the other hand, if you have a car to beat, the driver makes the difference against his rivals, even his teammate, or against other opponents with similar weapons. But the first premise is to have a weapon to fight. And the rest, we will see.

It should be approached in a similar way to football, however different it may be: A good forward can score goals, but it is difficult for him to win titles without a good defense, a good goalkeeper and, in finally, a great team. . And that set, in F1, for the driver is the car and the new parts that come race by race.

Only in this way you will understand that in F1 you can pay real millions to a man who still designs with a pencil on his drawing table. Your ideas may be worth headlines. We identify the best F1 engineers and car designers in history, Adrian Neweynew signature of Aston Martin and that he will start working in the group of Silverstone on March 2, 2025. He will focus on massive changes to car and engine regulations that will debut in 2026, the year in which he wants to create the championship car for Alonso.

He is the most successful and award-winning designer, and his 65 years still the best. That’s why Ferrari wanted him, and although Adrian assured that economic conditions were not the key to his decision, they should help.

Money and actions

Although it is not official, the ‘Daily Mail’, the first to discover the engineer’s signing, confirms that Adrian will be paid in Aston Martin an enormous sum of 35 million euros per year for the next 5 courses. Adrian said he decided on Aston Martin because Lawrence is the only team owner who reminds him of the old school, Ron Dennis or Frank Williams, who is fully and actively involved in everything that happens in the factory and on the track.

Also, that they offered him something completely new and that they never proposed to him. (also absent from Ferrari): become an Aston Martin shareholder. And with millions of euros a year you need to add an important ‘pasta’ to your account.because he was given 2.5% of the shares of a company that is currently worth 1.6 billion dollars on the stock market. Do the math. The bills will come out of your ears.

More than most of the paddock

But to understand the immense importance of such a designer, it is important to understand that as the technical head of the project, Adrian will earn more than 17 drivers on the current F1 grid. Although pilot salaries are not official or public, there are several portals that display them annually. According to ‘Front Office Sports’, in the current F1, Newey’s salary can only be surpassed by the current world champion, Max Verstappen (50 million euros per year) and Lewis Hamilton, who will receive approximately 40 million eurosalthough his salary at Ferrari next year could rise to 45 per year.

while, Charles Leclerc receives around 30 million a year at Ferraribelow Adrian. The remaining 16 drivers all earn significantly more than Adrian, even the one who will be the new star driver of Newey, Fernando Alonso.

According to the aforementioned portal, Lando Norris This is around 18 million euros per season, while Alonso and George Russell will earn just over 16.

Then there will be ‘Checo’ Pérez, with 12.6 million eurosfollowed by Carlos Sainz in 8th place in this salary grid, with almost 11 million a year, an amount lower than Leclerc despite the fact that in recent years it has been insisted that the Spaniard has the same consideration as number 1 as Charles. In matters like this, it is clear that what is said in a press conference is often a lie with very short legs.

Then there will be Valtteri Bottas, with around 9 million in Sauber, followed by Ricciardo, with 6 million in RB and Gasly, Ocon and Piastri (5.4), Magnussen (4.5), Stroll and Albon (2.72), Hülkenberg and Zhou (1.8 ), Yuki Tsunoda (less than a million) and a Franco Colapinto about whom no information is available.

Looking at this (unofficial) list, Aston Martin’s massive investment makes more sense.

“This is a bargain! A bargain. I have been in the business world for over 40 years and I have never had more certainty,” said Lawrence Stroll about the millions he will pay for Adrian. “It’s not an investment, it’s a shareholder and partner, the best partner that can join a company. “We like to spend a lot of time together and it’s relatively cheap for everything we contribute to our organization,” he added. With this they want to win everything, including the Constructors’ World Cup from 2026. Doing so represents a prize of 140 million for the champion a year, although the annual value is The most important thing is the sponsorships and everything that can increase the value of the company in the stock market
