As expected, the competition that Ferrari will have to beat in the race to Adrian Newey It’s getting harder and harder. According to rumors coming from the Dutch and British press, the volcanic engineer, who will leave Red Bull at the end of the season, he would visit Aston Martin’s Silverstone factorya team that has been following him for some time and which would have already put a rich financial offer on the table.
Lawrence Stroll’s team is experiencing another very complex start to the season, with the cars still far from the top zone and very little effectiveness of the upgrade package brought to Imola. In a desperate attempt to turn the situation around, Aston Martin is trying to insert a high-profile engineering profile, being able to count on the enormous economic availability to compensate for a very lacking technical project. In addition to the one for Newey, in fact, there are rumors of a large offer for Enrico Cardile, the Ferrari technical director who was the protagonist of the huge improvements shown by Maranello’s single-seaters starting from the end of last season.
At the moment, nothing is leaking from the Silverstone team. If not a meager official statement reiterating the desire to work constantly to improve performance. Just as nothing leaks out from Newey himself, the most courted coach of the moment. The 65-year-old British engineer could also decide to end his career at the end of the year with Red Bull or continue in an environment other than F1. It is always good to take into consideration the fact that he never left England in his journey between March, Williams, McLaren and Red Bull. And that, from this point of view, Aston Martin is ahead of Ferrari by having its headquarters in Silverstone.
