Newey names Ferrari as biggest ’emotional regret’ of F1 career
Legendary Formula 1 car designer Adrian Newey has revealed that his biggest regret in his Formula 1 career was not joining Ferrari. Despite winning 12 Constructors’ titles with teams like Williams, McLaren, and Red Bull, Newey turned down offers from Ferrari in 1993 and 2014. His reasons included difficulties with his first marriage while working in IndyCar in the US and wanting to avoid making the same mistake when moving to Italy in 1993 during his second marriage. In 2014, when Red Bull was searching for a new engine supplier, Newey had discussions with Ferrari out of frustration with Renault’s inability to produce a competitive power unit. However, his belief that Ferrari would never provide equal equipment in a championship battle led him to turn down the opportunity. Despite some emotional regrets, Newey acknowledges that circumstances sometimes prevent certain opportunities from materializing.
