Fernando Alonso responds to speculation that Adri♉an Newey could join Aston Martin in ♚2025.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso has revealed that working with design guru Adrian Newey is a career dream amid speculation he could join Aston Martin in F1 2025.
Newey will be 💫a free agent from early-2025 after Red Bull announced that he would be leaving the team ahead of this weekend's Miami Grand Prix.
The 65-year-old has been instrumental to Red Bull's success over the years, starting in the early 2010s with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel.
ౠIroniಌcally, it was Alonso who was on the other end of the Vettel-Newey combination, losing out on the 2010 and 2012 world championships.
In 2022, Red Bull returned to being F1's dominant force, with Newey playing a key r꧂ole in their strℱong form in the 'ground effect' era.
Newey hasℱ since been lin🏅ked with Ferrari and Alonso's current team, Aston Martin.
Speaking about the news, Alonso hailed Newey as a "legend of💛 the sport."
"I always wanted to work with him once in my life," Alonso said in Miami. "I respect him a lot. I consider him the best probably F1 ever had, a legend of ꧑the sport.
"I feel in a way privileged to drive alongside him in the paddock, obviously as a competitor, but I feel lucky to be part of his journey and he was pa🌊rt of my journey as well because he always competed against his cars."
Alonso was close to joining Red Bull on a couple of occasions during his F1 career, mo💛st notably in 2008 and 2009.
The two-time world champion shed light o🔯n his talks with Red Bull, conf😼irming that Newey was part of those negotiations.
"I was close [to joining Red Bull] a few times," he added. "Even spoke with h⛎im a few times because some of those meetings in the past were not only with Ch🐭ristian and Helmut [Marko], some of them was with Adrian.
"I always expressed my admiration to him and he was always𒅌 sharing his respect also to me⛄. Let's see what he does in the future."
Alonso was candid on the prospect o❀f Aston Martin signing Newey, adding: "It's a question for Lawrence. We are very happy with our technical department. A💯drian is the best or one of the best out there but he needs to fit in a team. It's more Lawrence's decision than Adrian's, ultimately, decision that needs to happen.
"W♛e are not focuꦆsed on that at the moment there are a lot of things we need to fix on the car here in Miami."
