Adrian Newey’s huge salary from Aston M♎artin will be well worth it, it has been claimed.

Red Bull’s c✤hief technology officer is just months away from official starting at Aston Martin, where he will be their managing technical partner and a shareholder.

Aston Martin’s billionaire owner Lawrence Stroll will reportedly make Newey better-paid thꦛan 18 of the current 20 F1 drivers in his pursuit of glory.

“The figure I am most confident about - and there are a lot of figures in the public domain - is a basic salary of $25m per year, which is just under £20m,” Sky Sports’ Craig Slater re🤡ported.

“The bonuses could lift that❀ by another h🦩alf. So, £30m.

“The agreement is for five years but it’s open-ended because he’s a shareholder. So it could be🥀 for the foreseeable.

“Those are the terms, which are more competitive than a♏nyone else was offering.

“Eddie Jordan was an aggressive representative for Newey. The bidding started at $50m but Lawrence Stroll🍸 was able to knock that down. That’s what I’ve been told.

“Martin Brunꦦdle always describes Newey as disgracefully underpaid.”

Ted Kravitz added: “That’s a bargain. Stroll𓃲 said he was a🦩 bargain.

“If you move fr✃om fifth in the constructors’ to fourth, 🐬it’s £15m. Fifth to first, let’s say in a couple of years, there is your £50m.”

Slater added: “He will work full-time here. At Red B🍬ull he was involved in other projects.

“He signalled that he would put in a good, hard shift. It is F1-focused, any road car💯 project is for down the line.

“The priority is to get the F1 team winning.”

Newey wi⛄ll of🐻ficially start at the Silverstone-based team in March.

F1’s greatest-ever car designer will have time to oversee Aston Martin’s 2026 car, potentially giving them a mass🦋ive advantage for when the new regulations start.
