At one stage, Ferrari appeared as the frontrunner to sign Adrian Newey. Here’s why that move failed.
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur disclosed a disagreement over Adrian Newey’s role as a factor in Ferrari’s failure to secure the esteemed F1 designer. Newey will now design for Aston Martin after leaving Red Bull. Vasseur confirmed discussions with Newey, indicating differing views between them. Aston Martin has a strong technical team, with Enrico Cardile joining as chief technical officer next year. Vasseur emphasized that it’s the group, not individuals, that drives success in a team. Loïc Serra, an experienced figure in racing, will join Ferrari along with Jérôme d’Ambrosio, adding valuable knowledge and expertise to the Scuderia.
