Fernando Alonso believes it is a “good sign” that Aston Martin are one of the teams that have been touted as a potential destination for Adrian Newey amid the news that the designer will leave Red Bull in the first quarter of 2025, with the Spaniard hailing him as a “legend of the sport”.
It was confirmed in the days ahead of this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix that Newey has decided to exit Red Bull after almost 20 years at the squad, during which time the cars he has designed have clinched six constructors’ titles and seven drivers’ championships.
ANALYSIS: Adrian Newey's Red Bull exit is confirmed – what next for the star designer?
While the Chief Technical Officer’s next move has not yet been revealed, his name has been linked with the likes of Ferrari and Aston Martin, with Alonso being a driver that Newey has previously suggested he would like to have worked with.
Given Newey’s illustrious track record in the sport – having also designed championship-winning cars for Williams and McLaren prior to joining Red Bull – Alonso is similarly full of praise for the Briton.
