The famous engineer Adrian Newey said even last season that he regrets that he never had the opportunity to work with Lewis Hamilton during his career. At that time, it seemed that the Red Bull specialist and the Mercedes athlete would probably never have such an opportunity, but now the situation has changed significantly.
L. Hamilton signed a contract with Ferrari last winter, which he will represent from the coming season. Meanwhile, A. Newey officially informed a few days ago that after the end of this year, he will end his career in the ranks of Red Bull.
According to reports, Ferrari is the main contender to invite this motorsport legend.
Both sides would like to work together in this case. L. Hamilton, who still represents Mercedes, stated that A. Newey is the number one specialist with whom he would like to be in the same team.
“I would not like to reveal whether during the negotiations with Ferrari we talked about the possibility of acquiring Newey later. This is a private conversation. But if I were to make a list of people I’d like to work with, Newey would be at the top of that list.
Adriant has a great history and experience. It is clear that he has done an amazing job during his career. He has a wealth of valuable knowledge and would be a fantastic addition. You can just look at the Red Bull car, which is even faster this year than last season. It would be a real honor to work with Adrian.
When I came to McLaren, I think I had an evolved version of the car he built. I arrived when he had just left, so the car was based on his concept. I felt privileged to be able to touch what he was working on.
I don’t think that Red Bull won’t continue to build great cars after Adrian leaves, but it would be great for any team to have the opportunity to work with such a specialist”, A. Newey praised L. Hamilton.
