Ferrari and Aston Martin, pressing for Newey
Everyone wants Adrian Newey. As is normal for one of the most important designers in the history of Formula 1, as well as the one who created the Red Bull jewel, the true ruler of the ground effect era.
The internal chaos at the Milton Keynes team could be the picklock with which to undermine the Red Bull era, tearing away precisely what is considered the key man of the Anglo-Austrian team. Ferrari is constantly pressuring the Briton; according to some rumors, so is Aston Martin, but team principal Mike Krack has denied offers to Newey.
Marko's words
What is certain is that Newey has also received requests lately. Which was confirmed by Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko: “Adrian is highly sought after and an in-demand designer. He is the person everyone would like to have. I don't think it was the first offer he received and I don't think it will be the last“, this was the Austrian's comment at Suzuka.
In short, in addition to the drivers' market (inflamed in February by Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari), the possible transfers of engineers and designers are also important, fundamental for best interpreting the era of the new power units, which begins in 2026 and is now behind the corner. The future is being built now and having a Newey in the team is a guarantee of success: not only for those who want him, but also for those who intend to rightly hold on to him.
