Lewis Hamilton will likely never work alongside Adrian Newey
Newey revealed in 2023 on F1’s Beyond the Grid podcast that not working for Ferrari - or with Hamilton - would be one of his career regrets.“But just as, for instance, working with Fernando and Lewis would have been fabulous. But it never happened. It's just circumstance sometimes, that's the way it is.”
The start of Hamilton’s dominant era in 2014 prompted Newey to potentially look elsewhere, with former Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo attempting to sign the Red Bull designer. “But I guess Red Bull, having built it up from nothing, I felt a paternal bond to the team, to the people that worked there. I enjoyed a very close and strong relationship with Christian Horner. So it kind of felt like walking out on a family.”
Speaking after the news was announced, Hamilton admitted Newey would be at the top of the list of people he’d want to work with in F1. For Ferrari, while this might have been a serious blow 12 months ago, under Frederic Vasseur’s leadership, the Scuderia is on the rise again, and the signing of Loic Serra is a shrewd move.
