Adrian Newey’s huge salary from♚ Aston Martin will be we🅘ll worth it, it has been claimed.

Red Bull’s chief technology officer isꦏ just months away from official starting at Aston Martin, where he will be their managing technical partner and a s🧔hareholder.

Aston Martin’s billionaire owner Lawrence Stroll will reportedly𝕴 make Newey better-paid than 18 of the current 20 F1 drivers in his pursuit of glory.

“The figure I am most confident about - and there are a lot of figures in the public domain - is a basic salary of $25𒐪m 🍸per year, which is just under £20m,” Sky Sports’ Craig Slater reported.

“The bonuses could lift that by anothe💮r half. So, £30m.

“The agreement is for five 🅠years but it’s open-ended because he’s a shareholder. So it co𒅌uld be for the foreseeable.

“Those are the terms, which are more competitive than anyone else was 🍎offering.

“Eddie Jordan was an aggress♏ive representative for Newey. The bidding started at $50m but Lawrence Stroll was able to knock that down. That’s what I’ve been told.

“Martin Brundle alwa𝓀ys describes Newey as disgracefully 🎀underpaid.”

Ted Kravitz added⛎: “That’s a bargain. S♕troll said he was a bargain.

“I🐓f you move from fifth in the constructors’ to fourth, it’s £15m. Fifth to first, let’s say in꧙ a couple of years, there is your £50m.”

Slater added: “He will 🅘work full-time here. At Red Bull he was involved in other projects.

“He signalled that he would put in a good, hard shift. Iꦑt is F1-focused, any road car project is for down the line.

“The priority is to get the F1 team winning.”

Newey will officially start at the Silverstone-based t🐬eam in March.

F1’s greatest🍒-ever ওcar designer will have time to oversee Aston Martin’s 2026 car, potentially giving them a massive advantage for when the new regulations start.
