Adrian Newey has reportedly been offered a big-money co♔ntract to jo꧒in Aston Martin.

Red Bull's legendary car designer received the offer from Aston Martin🍃 over the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, report.

The offer from Lawrence Stroll's team wou🦂ld put Newey on a similar salary to the top F1 driv💙ers.

Dan Fallows, onc🎐e Newey's colleague at🔯 Red Bull, left to join Aston Martin in 2022.

Newe😼y has been with Red Bull since 2005, a key cog in the F1 titles won by Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen.

He is the genius behind last year⛄'s record-breaking ﷺRB19 and this season's RB20.

Newey has been subject of interest from rivals be✨fore, most notably from Ferrari.

But the internal turmoil that has engulfed Red Bull off-track this year makes t♐he timing of ✃Aston Martin's offer intriguing.

B🌟acke♌d by billionaire owner Stroll, Aston Martin are keen to become one of F1's top teams.

Theওy have built a new headquarters and will partner with Honda from 2026.

Their coup to sign Fernando Alonso last year🤪 was justified by impressive results, and they hope to cling onto him for a third season in 2025.

But fascinatingly, signing Newey might open the door for Aꩲston Martin to become a legitimate destination for Verstappen.

Although Verstappen has pledged loyalꦬty to Red Bull (where he is contracted until ಞ2028), Mercedes are openly discussing the possibility of signing him to replace Ferrari-bound Lewis Hamilton.

However, first on Aston Martin⛄'s plan is to recruit Newey, widely recognised as F1's greatest car designer.

But there is no gu🎃arantee that they will be successful.

Last yea🧔r, Newey penned an extension to his stay with Red Bull 🍒and had no intention to leave.
