Red Bull announced earlier this season that their longtime designer Adrian Newey expressed his wish to step down from his position, sparking speculation about his next move. Ferrari was initially seen as the frontrunner to secure Newey’s services, coinciding with Lewis Hamilton’s potential move in 2025, but Aston Martin gradually emerged as a strong contender. Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll reportedly presented Newey with an enticing offer, showcasing the team’s ambitious plans for the future. Stroll’s investments in Aston Martin’s facilities, including a new wind tunnel at their Silverstone base, further indicated the team’s commitment to success. While neither Newey nor Aston Martin have confirmed the move, it is believed that an announcement might come in September, paving the way for Newey to join a talented technical team at the British team. Aston Martin’s aggressive recruitment strategy also saw them secure former Ferrari Technical Director Enrico Cardile for 2025, solidifying their lineup for the future.
