“What colour do I see Newey in the future? I think the red clashes a bit with the dark blue. But I think anything is possible with a great colour like green,” Marko said, suggesting that Aston Martin will be the design guru’s next team.

Until leaving Red Bull, Newey will work on their hypercar project – the RB17 – and is expected to be free to join another F1 team in the first quarter of 2025. It has been suggested that Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll has offered Newey a huge contract to make the move to Silverstone and head the design department.

Previously, Newey has stated that not designing a car for Fernando Alonso one of his biggest regrets in F1, and with the Spaniard recently signing a multi-year deal to stay at Aston Martin he could get the chance to do so.

Helmut Marko predicts Adrian Newey’s next F1 team… and it’s not who you think

Red Bull announced in the build-up to the Miami Grand Prix that Newey would leave the team next season, having already stepped back from their Formula 1 operations. The 65-year-old, whose Red Bull cars have won 13 championship titles and counting, will say goodbye to the team sometime in the first quarter of 2025. But where he goes next, even Newey doesn’t know.

The design legend has been widely linked to Ferrari, and is said to have already had one meeting with a representative of the Scuderia, while Aston Martin are willing to put a big-bucks offer on the table. According to Sky Sports’ Craig Slater, a “dozen people who know Adrian pretty well” have told him that Newey to Ferrari has “genuine potential”. He also says “30 people” have told him Aston Martin does not.

But according to Marko, someone who definitely does know Newey well, Aston Martin could be his preferred option. “What colour do I see Newey in the future?” Marko said as per total-motorsport.com. “I think the red clashes a bit with the dark blue. But I think anything is possible with a great colour like green.”

Newey "a big loss" for Red Bull, admits Marko

NEWS STORY
Pitpass

Helmut Marko has admitted that losing design guru Adrian Newey is "a big loss" for Red Bull. Whilst many might regard the Austrian's comment as the understatement of the year, over the course of the Miami weekend the Milton Keyes based outfit was keen to play down the significance of last Wednesday's announcement or the potential fallout.

Newey, accompanied by his wife, was seen throughout the weekend and after addressing the assembled crew on Friday was given an enthusiastic round of applause, as Christian Horner, Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez and the rest emphasised that Red Bull's success hasn't been down to one man... even though Newey has been a common factor during the Austrian team's periods of domination, much as he was at Williams and McLaren.

However, the ever outspoken Helmut Marko was willing to state the fact that dare not speak its name. "This is of course a big loss for Red Bull Racing," he told Austria's Kronen Zeitung. "He may not have been involved in the day-to-day running, he may not have paid attention to every detail, every screw," he continued, "but he was the one who controlled the complex knowledge of aerodynamics and mechanical grip of the whole car. Moreover, his great successes have made him a legend." Nonetheless, at least outwardly, Marko claims that the team will not suffer the disaster that some within the paddock are predicting.

Aston Martin to evaluate Newey job offer

Earlier in Miami, Krack said when asked about rumours of Aston Martin's interest in the departing Red Bull technical guru: We are quite happy with our technical team and we continue with them. However, 65-year-old Newey was then spotted in conversation with Aston Martin's billionaire owner Lawrence Stroll in the Miami paddock.

Krack then slightly modified his response to the Newey question when asked by the Spanish broadcaster DAZN on Sunday. “I think that as Aston Martin it is important to have our own path”, he said. "With the people and the team we have.”

"We want to build our success and fight against the strongest. Obviously, if someone of this calibre is available, you have to consider them and value them. It's something that we have to evaluate in detail - what they can contribute, the drawbacks, all of that”, the German added.

Lance Stroll gives five-word response when asked about Adrian Newey joining Aston Martin

Aston Martin want to sign Adrian Newey after he leaves Red Bull. The world champions confirmed ahead of the Miami Grand Prix that Newey would depart in early 2025.

There were already reports earlier in the year, long before Newey’s exit was confirmed, that Lawrence Stroll wanted him. He apparently stepped up his pursuit around a month ago in the hope of securing Max Verstappen too.

Stroll, however, was tight-lipped on the possibility of Newey arriving, simply stating: “I guess time will tell.” Alonso was much more enthusiastic, hailing the designer as a ‘legend of the sport’. He feels it’s a ‘good sign’ that Aston have even been linked.

‘Let’s see what he decides’ – Alonso ponders Aston Martin’s chances of signing ‘legend’ Newey

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”.

“Well he’s a legend of the sport,” the Spaniard commented on media day in Miami. “First of all I feel privileged to drive in this moment in Formula 1 and the last 20 years and sharing this sport with Adrian, obviously as a competitor, and it is a privilege.”

In terms of how much he would like to work with Newey at Aston Martin, Alonso continued: “[For him] to be linked with Aston Martin is already a good sign and good news for us, that a legend of the sport and Aston Martin are linked somehow. But we are also very happy with our technical department, and let’s see what he decides and if he keeps working or not in the paddock. The most important thing for us is to concentrate on the new regulations, especially in 2026.”
