There is no talk of anything else. Adrian Newey continues to be the center of attention. It's been almost two weeks since the star Formula 1 engineer announced his departure from Red Bull but his future continues to be the star issue in the paddock. The fight between Aston Martin and Ferrari and even its temporary withdrawal from Formula 1 have kept the “Great Circus” in suspense. But now, from Italy they are already beginning to clarify their future.
Fernando Alonso's team seemed willing to pull out all the stops to achieve a signing that could give the Asturian the reliable car that he has been asking for for months. However, from the specialized media Auto Motor und Sport they took their destiny for granted andHe is in Ferrari with Lewis Hamilton. Something that Sky Sport Italia also confirms.
In the aforementioned media they report that the signing of Adrian Newey for Ferrari is a certainty and even reveal additional information about his role and his start date.
“The official announcement is missing, but for Adrian Newey all roads lead to Maranello,” wrote Carlo Vanzini.
A super advisor in 2025
“In Ferrari will have the role of super consultant from April 2025, with the possibility of working on the new car project of 2026 and possibly also intervene in the race given that it will arrive at the start of the season. Although it is not yet official, the future of the British designer seems to be clearer.”
Sky Sport adds that in the past Newey refused to go to Ferrari because he did not want to move to Italy. “In the past, when everything seemed done, Newey decided to move from Williams to McLaren, because the latter was much closer to his home. Now everything has changed.”
Newey, if this comes true, would not have an active role in his beginnings in Maranello but his advice will be vital.
Ferrari thus fulfills Lewis Hamilton's dream and ends Fernando Alonso's team in one fell swoop.
