Fernando Alonso Expresses Desire for Adrian Newey to Join Aston Martin

Fernando Alonso’s plea for Adrian Newey to join Aston Martin has sent shockwaves through the Formula 1 community. The two-time world champion’s admiration for the legendary designer is well-known, and his desire to work alongside him is no secret.

In a recent interview ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, Alonso expressed his deep respect for Newey, calling him “the best Formula 1 probably ever had.” The Spaniard revealed that he has always wanted to collaborate with Newey and even hinted at the possibility of having one of his iconic cars, the Aston Martin Valkyrie, in his garage.

Despite their paths never crossing directly in their careers, Alonso has always held Newey in high regard. He acknowledged the privilege of competing against Newey’s cars and expressed his admiration for the designer’s work.

However, Alonso made it clear that the decision ultimately lies with Aston Martin team owner Lawrence Stroll and Newey himself. He emphasized that it is crucial for Newey to fit into the team’s technical department and that it is more than just an individual’s wish.

Newey’s impending departure from Red Bull Racing in 2025 has sparked speculation about his next move. While there have been rumors linking him to Aston Martin, Ferrari, or even retirement, Newey has remained tight-lipped about his future plans.

As the Formula 1 world eagerly awaits Newey’s decision, Alonso’s public endorsement of the designer joining Aston Martin has added an intriguing twist to the ongoing saga. Will Newey make the move to Aston Martin and team up with Alonso? Only time will tell.
