Aston Martin Makes Bold Move to Lure Legendary Designer Adrian Newey from Red Bull
In the world of Formula 1, there are few names as revered as Adrian Newey. The 65-year-old legendary designer has been a key figure in Red Bull’s championship-winning success since joining the team in 2005. But now, Aston Martin is making a bold move to lure Newey away from his current team and into their own ranks.
According to sources, Aston Martin chief Lawrence Stroll has offered Newey a big-money contract to join the team at their nearby Silverstone headquarters. This move is part of Stroll’s ambitious plan to create a team that can rival the likes of Red Bull, Mercedes, and Ferrari for years to come.
Stroll has already made significant investments in the team, including a state-of-the-art headquarters and a new wind tunnel. He has also attracted top designers from rival teams and secured a works Honda deal for the 2026 regulations era. But poaching Newey could be the final piece of the puzzle to close the gap to F1’s traditional top teams.
Not only would Newey’s arrival be a major coup for Aston Martin, but it could also have a significant impact on the driver market. With lead driver Fernando Alonso’s contract set to expire, Newey’s presence could be a key factor in convincing him to stay with the team. It could also be a major selling point for world champion Max Verstappen, who is also the subject of interest from Mercedes.
However, Newey’s current contract with Red Bull may prove to be a hurdle for Aston Martin. He signed a multi-year extension last year and has stated that he has no plans to leave the team. But Stroll’s offer may be too tempting to resist, especially with the ongoing power struggle between Red Bull team boss Christian Horner and the Austrian side of the business.
This is not the first time that rival teams have attempted to lure Newey away from Red Bull, but this time, the circumstances may be different. With Aston Martin’s ambitious plans and a lucrative contract offer, Newey may be tempted to make the move.
As of now, Aston Martin has declined to comment on the matter. But if this move is successful, it could have a major impact on the F1 landscape and solidify Aston Martin as a top team for years to come.
