“That is something maybe for the future that I think about, but not now.”
Newey’s move from Red Bull to Aston Martin has dominated the media headlines ahead of Baku this weekend.
The 65-year-old was unveiled at Aston Martin’s HQ on Tuesday, becoming their new technical leader from March 2025.Unsurprisingly, many have tipped Aston Martin, with Newey at the helm for success, with owner Lawrence Stroll reportedly eyeing Verstappen as a driver. When asked about the speculation, Verstappen responded in Baku: “Again, like I said before, I have other worries that I am worrying about at the moment and that I am paying attention to and working on.When pressed on whether the signing of Newey makes Aston Martin more attractive, he added: “I don’t know, I’ve worked with him, so I know how he is as a person also and what he can do.
“I’m happy for him, it’s a new challenge and I always said I would have loved him to stay, but at one point you can’t overturn these things and you are just happy for people seeking new challenges and I also know that Lawrence is pushing flat out to make it a success with Aston Martin. So it’s quite understandable that he wants to have Adrian on his side.
