Lewis Hamilton could reportedly link up with Adrian Newey next season with the outgoing Red Bull designer said to have already decided his future. Newey has spent the last two decades at Red Bull but will take on a new challenge when he leaves the reigning champions in early 2025.
Newey has been heavily linked with a move to Ferrari, who have tried and failed to secure his services on a number of occasions. Aston Martin are known to have already made Newey an offer but it has been reported that he is not interested in joining them.
Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Emiliaa. Romagna Grand Prix, the 65-year-old revealed that he expects to join another team rather than retire when he leaves Red Bull next year. He admitted that he was ‘seriously considering changing teams, going somewhere else and doing another four or five years or whatever’.
Newey added: “I feel a little bit tired at the moment, but at some point I’ll probably go again.”
