Newey between Aston Martin, Ferrari and lengthening times

Adrian Newey noted special. More and more. Since the brilliant English coach announced on May 1st that he would leave Red Bull, his profile has become the most sought after in the F1 market. In fact, everyone wants to secure the services of the designer who with the Milton Keynes team alone won 7 drivers’ and 6 constructors’ titles between 2006 and 2023 and whose pencil stroke has always been a guarantee of success.

visiting aston martin

The most recent of the courtships comes from England, precisely from Silverstone, home of theAston Martin: it is there, in fact, that Newey was seen, engaged in one visit to the stable headquarters for which Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll race. Opportunity to see the team’s factory and to talk to Lawrence Stroll, the Canadian tycoon who sets no limits. Economical and ambitious. The meeting, reported by Times and shrouded in maximum secrecy, it has only one purpose: offer Newey a contract to be able to have it available from 1 April 2025, when he will finish his gardening with Red Bull. The prestigious English newspaper reports that Stroll “is confident of being able to take Newey”, his number 1 objective to attack the World Cup, especially with the new rules that will come into force in 2026, being able to “offer him a very fascinating project like that of Aston Martin”, also adding that “no agreement has yet been signed and that the Ferrari team, initially favored in the race for Adrian also due to the suggestion of being able to work with Lewis Hamilton, has cooled down in some way”.

Ferrari has the advantage

In reality, the fate of Newey, who has Eddie Jordan as manager, does not seem any further from Maranello than it was a few days ago: the charm of the CavallinoThe Ferrari legendthe privilege of being able to support Hamilton and the suggestion of winning with the Red, a laurel that has a specific weight different from the others on any bulletin board, remain predominant in the negotiation. It is true that Newey has had discussions with many teams: if Ferrari spoke to him immediately, when Frederic Vasseur made a detour to London on the eve of the Miami GP to meet him and illustrate the Prancing Horse’s offer and project, other teams have also undertaken contacts. They did so, both Williams, who would have even put the team’s shares on the plate, and McLaren, but the red car remains on pole.

when does he sign?

The point now becomes that of timing, because the decision times begin to expand, lengthening awaiting for it to start to take its toll. There is a sanctioned farewell, a defined gardening, such as Newey’s commitment to completing the project for the Red Bull RB17 hypercar, the relevance of a decision that will presumably seal the last professional challenge of the 65-year-old designer and the weight of a card , a wild card, which all the suitors will want to play to their best, but it seems we are entering a stalemate phase. There is a unique opportunity on the table to aim for the top: each interview can become a means to win the game, but also to raise the stakes of the figures to be put on the contract and fuel conspiracy theories. The inevitable impasse is almost slipping into a catchphrase: but when does Newey sign? Perhaps we just have to wait for the Circus’ summer break to announce an agreement that has already been signed, but speeding up would be beneficial. To avoid speculation, reassure the parties involved, plan for the future and reassure the fans. Those who tremble most of all.
