Big news for Fernando Alonso: Adrian Newey signs with Aston Martin for F1 World Cup dream

Aston Martin signs on pole position Adrian Newey And that’s how it ended up. Lawrence Stroll’s team is expected to make an announcement next week. The most popular engineer in all of F1Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft hinted at it last weekend, but now British outlet the Daily Mail has already taken it for granted. It closed this Tuesday. Then the specialized media “Motorsport.com”, “Planet F1” and “RacingNews365” also took it for granted.

Good news for Aston Martin: Newey was wanted by a number of teams who had set themselves the goal of making him a fixture in the team. Ferrari, McLaren, AlpineNotably, it would likely end up with a deal similar to that with Aston Martin. He signed a four-season contract with an annual salary of 24 million euros.

Because engineers must comply with regulations before they can leave one team and start working for another, Newey is expected to be able to join Aston Martin in 2025, six months after the announcement (the end of the first quarter of this year).

Now you are free to grab your pencil and notebook and create the car you most want to see from Aston Martin, the all-important 2026 single-seater.this is the year that revolutionary new regulations for cars and engines begin, so it’s the perfect time to change the grid order and begin an era of dominance. Every team will try, but as with Red Bull, having Adrian Newey there is always an advantage.which has dominated since the release of the last regulation changes implemented in 2022 until 2024, but coincidentally without the new way, the cars are starting to have problems and suffer.

This was assumed, but it became a hot topic. Adrian Newey wanted to stay in EnglandHowever, signing with Ferrari, one of the teams that most tempted him, proved virtually impossible and he would ultimately choose Aston Martin, having also considered Williams.

Announcement ahead of the Baku Grand Prix

The next one will be on September 6th. Adrian Newey is no longer with Red Bull and it could be announced from now on: he will choose the team of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll. The Spaniard will work with the English engineer in the medium to long term on a winning project, and Newey will be able to fulfil a wish he has revealed on several occasions: that he would like to work with Fernando one day. And that moment is coming.

According to several specialist media outlets, his contract with Aston Martin is therefore expected to be announced before next week’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku.He is looking to fill the position at the start of next season after leaving Red Bull, the team he joined in 2005 and dominated in two different eras, winning four consecutive championships with Vettel and three with Verstappen.

Newey prefers Aston Martin to Ferrari

Newey had been asked by Ferrari to bring glory back to the Red Team and help Hamilton win his eighth championship. For the 65-year-old engineer, this seemed like a historic opportunity to bring the curtain down on his career, but he was very keen to join Aston Martin, having maintained a great relationship with the brand from his past with Red Bull (when the company was associated with the energy drink team). Being closely linked to his home in the UK was also a compelling reason to choose Aston Martin.

On top of that, We must add to the billionaire financial offer from Lawrence Stroll the motivating challenge of taking a historic British company to the top. and He will also have been convinced after visiting the Green Team’s huge, refurbished factory at Silverstone. By the time Adrian Newey arrives, the facility will be complete, with two key and fundamental parts of building a winning car: a new wind tunnel and a new simulator.

Adding brilliance to an ambitious project

Adrian Newey believes Aston Martin can provide all the tools at the highest level to give Fernando Alonso a championship car. But that’s not all: the company has reworked its technology scheme to suit the film line-up.

Lawrence Stroll is on a mission to reshape the category. In recent months, Aston Martin has Former Mercedes engine guru announces deal with Andy CowellHe was instrumental in Hamilton’s title win with the Silver Arrows and will take over the general director role vacated by Whitmarsh.

He then announced the arrival of another first sword, like Enrico Cardilethe former head of Ferrari’s chassis department, who was appointed technical director of Aston Martin. Dan Fallowsalready working with Adrian Newey at Red Bull, and let’s not forget Eric Bradin, former head of aerodynamics at Mercedes.

The Trident looked magical. But a key piece was missing: Newey, who would be the star of the tree and the icing on the cake for the ambitious Aston Martin project. Fernando Alonso dreams of fighting for victories and coveted titles in 2026, what could be the final year of his F1 career.

Alonso delighted by rumours

“For me, the association of Aston Martin with Adrian Newey is already a privilege. Just reading about that combination is already a privilege. And I feel honoured to be part of the Aston Martin family.” I’d be happy if that happened one day, but I can’t keep dreaming and thinking about things that aren’t real.”Alonso pointed this out to the MD at the last Dutch Grand Prix.

“He’s a legend in the sport and I’ve been honoured to have competed there for the past 20 years, sharing the sport with Adrian (Newey).” We are honoured to be associated with Aston Martin and this is good news and a good sign for us.” Fernando Alonso also made this claim on DAZN’s microphone a few months ago.
