"The inevitable result is winning at some stage.”
Newey will swap Red Bull for Aston Martin in March, giving him ample time to direct their 2026 car when the new F1 regulations begin.
Newey’s arrival as a managing technical partner and a shareholder at Aston Martin allowed them to beat off interest from Ferrari.“Why did Aston Martin get Newey ahead of the others, who might have done? “A lot of the influential people at the other teams who were tipped to get Newey said ‘we don’t want to be drawn into a bidding war for his services’.“It feels like, at this time, the inevitable result is winning at some stage.”“Who at the other teams would have offered Newey skin in the game - shareholding?
“Ferrari would have never given him shareholding. Maybe Williams would have done but did Newey want that uphill struggle? McLaren’s wouldn’t have.“Stroll had that flexibility and imagination to make him a partner at the top level of the team.“We have seen this in other sports.”“So if you’re serious about getting him, find a way to do it.
“I don’t think Stroll gave away a massive chunk of this team. You can make him a shareholder without diluting significantly the key shareholders of the team.“The others will live to regret not taking this opportunity.”Get the latest F1 news, exclusives, interviews and promotions from the paddock direct to your inbox
