168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso revealed he texted Adrian Newey following𝓡 the announcement of his Red Bull departure to try and persuad🐠e him to join Aston Martin.

The legendary 65-year-old F1 designer will become Aston Martin’s managing technical partner in🦩 early 2025 having signed a five-year contract reportedly worth up to £30m a year following his decision 𒊎to quit Red Bull after nearly two decades.

Two-time world champion Alonso, who is under contract at Aston Martin until the end o🌌f 2026, said he reached out to Newey shortly after his exit from Red Bull was confirmed in May.

“I was hoping Adrian 💜would join whenꦏ he decided to stop with his previous team,” Alonso told .

“To start with, you dream that it can be a possibility. There were a couple of rumours that he was joining d🌱ifferent teams and I was asking Lawr💙ence, I was asking Martin Whitmarsh, I was asking various people in the team if we had contacted Adrian.

“I even ended up contacting him. I🐓 have his phone number and texted him: ‘What a surprise. If you ever think you would lik𝐆e a new challenge, I would love to work with you one day.’

“And I then found out that Adrian and Lawrence Stroll 💖were in contact. Lawrence kept me up to date on negotiations. When Adrian decided to join, 🌞I was extremely happy but also extremely proud – proud that he wanted to work with us and that he believed in our project.”

In the Aston Martin article, Alonso went on to ꩵsay he “would be lying if I said♏ I didn't think about” how Newey’s arrival could impact how long he continues racing in F1.

“Adrian will arrive in March next year and dedicate his time to 2026 so let's see how I feel at the end of '2𒆙6 and if I can keep going: it will be a decision that we make together as a team, with Lawrence [Stroll], with Adrian,” the Spaniard added.

"For me, it's an incredible opportunity because driving one of Adrian's F1 cars is something very special, but also because when yo🐷u work with people of Adrian's calibre there is so much that you can learn from them. It's hugely rewarding."
