Will Adrian Newey head to Ferrari if he does leave Red Bull? It’s not out of the question, and one former Williams driver has tipped the design wizard to succeed.
Former Williams driver Riccardo Patrese believes Adrian Newey can help restore Ferrari to championship-winning ways. Patrese and Newey collaborated at Williams in the early 1990s, where Patrese achieved four of his six wins as Nigel Mansell’s teammate. Newey has expressed his desire to depart Red Bull after 19 years, with Ferrari speculated as a probable destination. Despite Ferrari’s persistent efforts to attract Newey, no official announcement has been made. Patrese endorses Newey’s potential move to Ferrari and believes in his engineering prowess. He remains unsure, however, whether Newey would leave his beloved home in Britain. Patrese, excited at the prospect of Newey joining Ferrari, looks forward to potentially seeing him more frequently in Italy.
