Will it be Aston Martin in the end?
“Adrian Newey has chosen Aston Martin“: this is how Fulvio Solms’ piece in today’s edition of opens AutosprintCanadian tycoon Lawrence Stroll is said to have prevailed over the competition, with a four-year, $100 million offer and very broad powers that would be guaranteed to the former Red Bull, underlined by the same journalist in the twin article published on Sports Courier: “A series of consent/veto powers on engineers to be hired at Silverstone”.
…but Newey wanted Ferrari
So what happened with Ferrari, with which the negotiations seemed to be one step away from a happy resolution? Autosprint That Sports Courier they agree on what FormulaPassion.it had anticipated in mid-July: that is, that It wouldn’t have been Adrian Newey who refused the red one and that there was not the slightest obstacle at an economic level.
“No problem with the economic agreement (for Ferrari the “Whatever it takes” rule was in force), but Newey had asked to take over decision-making powers which are the prerogative of the team principal”writes Fulvio Solms. Requests that Ferrari would have delayed in front of. This ‘delay’ would have pushed Eddie Jordan – the British driver’s manager – to direct the designer towards Silverstone, home of Aston Martin and the old headquarters of its Formula 1 team. But Newey’s first choice has always been Ferrari, clearly.
Newey would have therefore said yes to Aston Martin, just as he had already said yes to Ferrari a few months ago. We reiterate what was said previously: with a character like this, the negotiation is never concluded until the contracts are signed. Will this be the right time?
