Adrian Newey and Jeremy Clarkson...Credits-Getty
British TV personality and host of Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson reiterated that he was the first to reveal that Adrian Newey would be joining Aston Martin instead of Ferrari for the 2025 season. The aero wizard made a shocking decision to leave the Red Bull F1 team after 19 years at the 2024 Miami GP.
Post his announcement, there were many teams like Ferrari, Aston Martin, and McLaren vying for the signature of the 65-year-old, given his talents. While many had predicted that Newey would end up at Maranello and partner alongside Lewis Hamilton next year.
During the 2024 British GP weekend, Clarkson revealed to ViaPlay that he had it on good authority that Adrian Newey was house hunting in Oxfordshire, not Maranello. The detail was proved correct after the former Red Bull CTO was unveiled as the Managing Technical Partner at Aston Martin in early September.
