When Fernando Alonso heard that Adrian Newey might be available, he didn’t hesitate for a moment. Alonso took the initiative and sent a message to the renowned designer to express his interest. With Newey’s potential move to Aston Martin, Alonso sees a unique opportunity to collaborate with a technical mastermind.
Alonso Takes the Initiative
Upon hearing the news that Newey might be leaving Red Bull Racing, Alonso didn’t waste a second. “I heard various rumors that he might be moving to another team, but I wanted to make sure we made him an offer. I immediately asked Lawrence Stroll and Martin Whitmarsh if we had made contact,” the Spaniard explains. “In the end, I sent a message to Newey myself: What a surprise. If you’re ever looking for a new challenge, I would love to work with you.”
The Future of Alonso
Fernando Alonso sees the arrival of Adrian Newey to Aston Martin, who will focus on the project from 2026, as a dream come true. “Driving in one of the cars designed by Newey is something very special. But it goes beyond that. Working with someone of his level is incredibly educational and rewarding,” Alonso said.
Alonso is already contemplating his future in the sport and views this as a unique opportunity to be part of the project. “Newey’s arrival makes me think about how long I want to continue in Formula 1. We will decide together, as a team, what is best,” he added.
The Vision and Determination of Stroll
Alonso is not only excited about Newey’s arrival but also full of praise for team boss Lawrence Stroll, who successfully negotiated with Newey. “When Adrian decided to join us, I was extremely proud. It shows what Lawrence can achieve. His passion and vision for Aston Martin are unparalleled, and he is determined to take us to the top,” Alonso said.
With Newey on board, Alonso hopes that Aston Martin can become a serious title contender in the coming years. Whether the collaboration with him will yield a third world title remains to be seen, but Alonso is determined to make the most of this opportunity.
