The Aston Martin Formula 1 team has approached Red Bull star designer Adrian Newey with a fresh contract offer, Motorsport.com has learned.
Newey has been the subject of plenty of interest from rival teams since joining Red Bull in 2005, being integral to its championship-winning success with Sebastian Vettel between 2010 and 2013 and now with Max Verstappen. Motorsport.com understands Aston Martin chief Lawrence Stroll has up the ante with a big-money contract offer over the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix weekend to lure the 65-year-old legendary designer from Milton Keynes to its nearby Silverstone headquarters.
It could also be an additional argument to convince world champion Verstappen, who is also the subject of interest from Mercedes, to continue his successful relationship with Newey and Honda just 20 miles down the road.
