Aston Martin ha🐬ve reportedly emerged as the frontrunners to sign Adrian Newey.

The F1 tech genius will depart R🙈ed Bull in early-🍨2025 and his availability has put the sport’s top teams on red alert.

Ferrari have long been rumoure▨d as his likeliest landing spot but Aston Martin have taken a major leap forward in the hunt for his signature.

Newe⛄y had held talks wi꧙th Lawrence Stroll, the team’s billionaire owner,  reports.

Newey w🧸as also given a private tour of Aston Martin’🌠s Silverstone facility which they hoped to keep ‘secret’, the newspaper reports.

Newey is free to join a new employer next year which would give him enough time🌠 to overse📖e their 2026 car.

F1’s new regulations come into effect in 2026, and anyone employing Newey to steer them in the right direct𝓀ion would 🌠have a huge advantage heading into the next era.

Red Bull, whose RB20 is the brain child of Newey and his colleagues, remain the ♒most dominant team in Formula 1 heading into this weeꦐkend's Spanish Grand Prix.

However, the field has converged this season with McL☂aren and Ferrari boasting grand prix winners too.

Although Max Verstappen is set to wrap up a fourt🌳h title in a row this year, Red Bull's season has been controversial. The furore around Christian Horner ove🍌rshadowed the early part of the year.

Newey then confirmed his exit, ඣgiving Red Bull's rivals hope that they could recruit one of the most respected minds in F1.

It is Aston Martꩵin, rather than Ferrari, who have seemingly edged closer to convincing Newe🐬y.
