Adrian Newey, the star designer from Red Bull, will not be joining Aston Martin in Silverstone for the time being, according to a spokesperson from Aston Martin. In recent days, various sources suggested that Newey would be making a transfer, with Lawrence Stroll reportedly convincing him with an annual salary of 20 million pounds.
Aston Martin’s spokesperson addressed the rumors surrounding Adrian Newey in a conversation with Crash.net. Ever since the 65-year-old Brit announced his departure from Red Bull, he has been linked to several rival teams. For a long time, Ferrari seemed to be Newey’s final destination, but in recent months, it appeared that Lawrence Stroll’s team would have the upper hand.
Aston Martin Denies Contract with Adrian Newey
Despite rumors, Aston Martin has stated that there is no contract with Adrian Newey. “Adrian has been linked with multiple teams,” a spokesperson said. “We are confident that he would be of great value to any project he joins. However, he is just one of the big names being linked to our promising team – at this point, we have nothing to announce.”
Fernando Alonso Expresses Skepticism
Fernando Alonso also expressed skepticism about the rumors surrounding Newey. During the race weekend in Italy, he was indifferent about a possible transfer. “These are still just rumors,” said the Spanish veteran. “Moreover, I don’t think one man can turn things around here. It’s more important to focus on what we are producing now. We need to understand what is going well and what is not. Good preparation for 2025 is crucial.”
