Adrian Newey did weigh up working with Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari before electing to join Fernando Alonso and Aston Martin.
After officially leaving Red Bull, renowned F1 designer Newey was linked with a number of teams and Ferrari, who have recently signed Hamilton, was a serious option. Newey outlined how 'old model owner' Lawrence Stroll persuaded him to become the Silverstone-based team's managing technical partner.
Newey is determined to help Stroll achieve his ambition of turning Aston Martin into a championship-winning team. 'The facilities are certainly here. There's no doubt about that,' he said. 'Where we get to? For me, when I arrive on March 2 the first priority is to understand the team, get to know everybody, try to learn their names, which I'm pretty useless at really and go from there.' He will bring an expectation of success with him.
