Earlier this week, Aston Martin announced the acquisition of Adrian Newey’s services on a long-term contract starting from March 2025 once his term with Red Bull Racing ends. Newey will lead a top-notch technical team at a revamped Silverstone facility, aiming to propel Aston Martin towards the front of the Formula 1 grid. CEO Mike Krack indicated that Newey’s arrival will influence the team’s approach to the driver market, potentially targeting current Red Bull driver Max Verstappen. While Verstappen is under contract with Red Bull until 2028, he has expressed concerns about the team’s recent performance decline. Despite speculations, Verstappen remains focused on assisting Red Bull in overcoming their challenges and has not ruled out a future move to Aston Martin. The decision for Newey to join Aston Martin coincided with Red Bull’s struggles, but Verstappen believes the team’s difficulties are not directly related to his departure. Verstappen has shared his appreciation for Newey’s contributions at Red Bull and expressed support for Aston Martin’s efforts to succeed under team owner Lawrence Stroll’s leadership.
