While speaking to a Dutch reporter at the British Grand Prix in early July, Jeremy Clarkson mischievously announced that Adrian Newey was not joining Ferrari from Red Bull
Jeremy Clarkson is being hailed for breaking the news that Adrian Newey was leaving Red Bull for Aston Martin before anyone else had the story.
The 65-year-old was tempted to join by their billionaire team owner Lawrence Stroll, who revealed they had been “talking not only for months but actually for years”. Newey’s exit from Red Bull has been a long time coming, but his destination after leaving was still up in the air over the summer. Speaking to a Viaplay reporter from the Netherlands on the grid – with Newey standing just behind him – Clarkson said: “Want an exclusive? Where are you from? I know Adrian Newey is house hunting in Oxfordshire, not Maranello.”
Now that the news is all but confirmed, F1 fans have heralded Clarkson for his journalistic endeavours. A video of the clip has resurfaced and gone viral on Twitter, picking up 1.5m views. The caption to the video reads: “Can we just appreciate that Jeremy Clarkson was the first one to break the news about Newey going to Aston Martin, a few months ago?”
