Lawrence Stroll reveals he and Adrian Newey have been “talking for years”
Lawꦅrence Stroll reveals he has been trying to convince Adrian Newey to join his F1 team for🌳 years.
Aston Martin team owner Lawrence Stroll says he has been “talking for years” to F1 design legend Adrian Newey about joining his tea🃏m.
May’s announ﷽cement that Newey, widely regarded as one of the greatest car designers in F1 history, would be leaving Red Bull after 19 years in early 2025 sparked a race to secure 𝐆his services.
After interest from the likes of Ferrari, McLaren and Williams, Aston Martin are reportedly on the verge of finalising a deal for Newey. A potential announcement has been tipped for next week, ahead of the Az🥀erbaijan Grand Prix.
Such a move would mark a huge coup for Stroll’s team, with Newey winning 12 driv♏ers’ championship and 13 constructors’ titles during stints ཧat Williams, McLaren and Red Bull.
”Adrian and I have been talking not only for months buꦜt actually for years,” Stroll said in an interview with Bloomberg on Tuesday.
"Adrian is clearly the most talented and gifted💝 individual in F1 based o🍸n his track record and history.
"So I'd be very excited for Adrian to join our team, as I think every other F1 team 🔥on the grid would feel exactly the same.”
When asked if Newey would join Aston Ma♐rtin, Stroll said: "I certainly hope so.”
Newe﷽y had a secret tour of Aston Martin's brand new state-of-the-art factory at Silverstone earlier this summer.
An Aston Martin spokesperson tolﷺd wuqian0821.com:෴ “Adrian has been linked to multiple teams. He would add value to whichever project he decides to join.
“He is just one of the big names being linked with this very exciꩵting Aston Martin project but we don’t have anything to announce.”
Speaking to BBC Sport, Newey’s manager Eddie Jordan, the ex-F1 team boss, said he is “not prepared” to answer questio𝕴ns about the 65-year-old’s future.
Aston Martin have recently announced the signings of former Mercedes engine chief Andy Cowell and ex-Ferrari chas🅰sis technical director Enrico Cardille, who will join technicﷺal director Dan Fallows, who arrived from Red Bull in 2022.
In 2026, Aston Martin will embark on a new engine partnership with Honda. The Japanese♈ manufacturer has powered Red Bull’s cars since 2019.
