With Adrian Newey expected to sign with Aston Martin in the coming days, Lawrence Stroll will finally get his man having revealed he’s been talking with design guru for “years”.
Stepping away from Red Bull next season after two decades with the Milton Keynes squad, Newey’s future team – if any – has been one of this season’s hot topics.
Lawrence Stroll ‘certainly hopes’ Adrian Newey will join Aston Martin
But while Ferrari led the initial running, PlanetF1.com understands the Briton is days away from putting pen to paper on a deal with Aston Martin after agreeing terms with Stroll.
The announcement, when it eventually comes, will mark the end of Stroll’s long-time pursuit of the design legend.
“Adrian and I have been talking not only for months but actually for years,” the Aston Martin team owner told Bloomberg.
“Adrian is clearly the most talented and gifted individual in F1 based on his track record and history.
“So I’d be very excited for Adrian to join our team, as I think every other F1 team on the grid would feel exactly the same.”
