Speculation suggests that Ferrari withdrew from the race to hire Red Bull's chief technical officer, Adrian Newey after Aston Martin made a more lucrative offer
Formula 1's popular aero guru, at 65, is celebrated as one of the most successful designers in Formula 1 history, having been a key figure in achieving 12 drivers' championships and 13 constructors' titles for Williams, McLaren, and Red Bull since 1991.
Newey's position with Ferrari would have been consultative, enabling him to work remotely from his UK home instead of moving to the team's Maranello base. To counter Ferrari's offer, Aston Martin proposed a substantial contract reportedly worth $100 million over three seasons, with additional performance-based bonuses. This offer is part of Aston Martin's strategy to bolster its team after a lackluster 2024 season thus far.
Aston Martin has aggressively pursued top talent, including Cardile and former Mercedes engine chief Andy Cowell, who has been appointed as CEO following Martin Whitmarsh's departure. Newey's potential move to Aston Martin has gained significant traction, and his preference to remain in the UK is one of the reasons. An official announcement from the team is expected to be made soon.
