During his presentation with Aston Martin, Adrien Newey He did not mince his words and assured that he had to choose between working with Fernando Alonso or with Lewis Hamilton… And He opted for Spanish.
The Briton was asked about his signing for Aston, which could be one of the casualties as the engineer debated between Ferrari and the Silverstone team.
The future Scuderia driver did not deny that it would have been a “privilege” to work alongside Newey, but he does not believe that anything will change.
“To be honest, I am not disappointed. “I’ve mentioned in the past that it would have been an honour to work with Adrian, although I’ve had the privilege of working with two championship teams that didn’t have Adrian,” he explained.
“I think any team would be happy to have Adrian, but at the end of the day, he did what was best for him” he added at the press conference preceding the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
“It doesn’t change anything for me. As for my next move, I still believe 100% that we can do great things,” he concluded.
