Alonso on Newey’s Influence
As the 2025 Formula 1 season approaches, Fernando Alonso has expressed strong opinions about the potential impact of Adrian Newey at Aston Martin in comparison to Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari. Alonso firmly believes that Newey’s arrival will significantly shape the performance and direction of Aston Martin, aiming for dominance on the grid.
Hamilton’s Transition to Ferrari
Lewis Hamilton’s transition to Ferrari is scheduled for 2025, and it marks a major chapter in his storied career. At the recent F1 75 live event, the unveiling of the SF-25 showcased Ferrari’s ambitions. However, Alonso suggests that Newey’s strategic mind and engineering prowess may present a greater influence on Aston Martin than Hamilton’s efforts at the iconic prancing horse.
Aston Martin’s Future with Newey
Newey’s expected effect on Aston Martin is underlined by his previous successes at Red Bull, where his tenacity and innovative designs led to multiple championship wins. After announcing his departure from Red Bull last year, he confirmed he would join Lawrence Stroll’s team, intensifying the anticipation leading into the forthcoming season. With a focus not just on 2025 but also on building a future scale of success, Alonso believes Newey’s expertise will play a pivotal role in redefining what Aston Martin can achieve.
