1996 Formula 1 World Champion Damon Hill has indicated that a return to McLaren could be the most suitable next
Recent reports have confirmed that Adrian Newey is stepping down as Red Bull’s Chief Technical Officer, a role he has held since 2006, with immediate effect. Aston Martin has reportedly offered him an attractive financial package, and there are rumors linking him to a potential move to Ferrari. Damon Hill believes that a reunion with McLaren, where Newey previously worked from 1997 to 2006, could be a compelling opportunity for the British designer to consider. Hill raised the question of whether Newey might be interested in joining McLaren, a team that has shown promising progress under the leadership of Team Principal Andrea Stella. Despite McLaren’s struggles in the past, they have made significant improvements, with Lando Norris achieving podium finishes in Australia and China in the current season.
