Adrian Newey, widely considered the greatest designer in Formula 1 history, is being linked to a possible deal with Ferrari in 2025. Newey, who played a key role in the success of Williams, McLaren, and Red Bull, recently decided to step down from his position at Red Bull. His manager and former F1 team owner provided an update on his future plans.
Eddie Jordan, refuting rumors that Newey had already signed a deal with Ferrari, stated that the aerodynamics genius has not committed to any specific team yet. Jordan previously suggested that Newey might take some time off before returning to the sport.
Furthermore, Jordan emphasized that Newey is currently evaluating his options for the future and is open to approaches from various teams. Williams, in particular, has expressed interest in meeting with the 65-year-old designer.
Jordan acknowledged Newey’s extensive experience in motorsport, which began when he joined Leyton House after graduating. He confirmed that discussions will continue in the coming weeks as Newey considers his next move.
Additionally, Jordan stressed the importance of considering Newey as a team in himself, beyond the teams he has worked with throughout his career. Ultimately, the decision about his future will be solely up to the 65-year-old designer.
Certainly, if Newey chooses to remain in Formula 1, he will be looking for a compelling opportunity. Given his remarkable track record of success, it is crucial for him to find a situation that aligns with his ambitions. However, if a suitable prospect does not materialize, Newey may even consider taking a break from the sport or retiring altogether.
