Formula 1: Ferrari fans get bad news amid high hopes for 2025

As a seasoned F1 fan with decades of following this sport under my belt, I must say the Newey-to-Aston Martin news has left me somewhat perplexed. I’ve been down this road before; remember when Arsenal signed that bloke from Real Madrid in 2003? The hype, the anticipation, only to be left with a bitter taste of disappointment. But alas, Newey is a different breed altogether.


On Tuesday, the long-running rumors were confirmed as Adrian Newey disclosed his plans to join Aston Martin prior to the 2025 Formula 1 season. His upcoming exit from Red Bull, where he has been employed since 2006, was initially announced in early May.

Newey will be joining the Silverstone team in a brand-new position titled Managing Technical Partner. His role will involve spearheading the development of their vehicle for the year 2026, as the team strives to usher in a new epoch of rules and regulations at the pinnacle level.

Following speculations among Ferrari enthusiasts that the renowned British designer was almost certain to become part of the Scuderia team by 2025, this announcement arrives.

Ferrari fans get bad news as Newey move confirmed

As a dedicated gaming enthusiast, I’ve long heard whispers about the legendary Lewis Hamilton potentially swapping his Mercedes for the iconic red of Ferrari – yet it remained nothing more than a tantalizing dream.

On a February morning this year, those old rumors reappeared. Over the following hours, it became clear that they were indeed valid. The news was made public that same day, confirming that Hamilton will part ways with Mercedes after a 12-year tenure and join Ferrari in 2025.

It appears there are some who fervently wished for Ferrari red to capture Adrian Newey’s distinct style, as numerous rumors suggested he would be teaming up with Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc in Maranello starting next year, spearheading the development of Ferrari’s 2026 car.

Tuesday’s news delivered a swift blow to those rumors, which never had backing of any kind.

It’s almost like the Formula 1 equivalent of “Arson Judge appears headed to Giants”.

Aston Martin’s drivers, Fernando Alonso (two-time world champion) and Lance Stroll, have contracts lasting until 2026. There are rumors that the team owner, Lawrence Stroll, might be interested in recruiting Max Verstappen from Red Bull. This move could potentially bring Verstappen back together with Newey and Honda, who will take over as Aston Martin’s engine suppliers from Mercedes within the next two years.
