Adrian Newey reports: A test of Red Bull strength or another show of Aston Martin ambition?

After a report emerged on Friday that Adrian Newey had been approached for a supposed big-money move by Aston Martin in Saudi Arabia, a few thoughts sprung to mind.

Other teams making moves for Newey is nothing new, however. After all, heading the design of 12 Constructors’ Championship-winning cars is likely to turn a few heads. First, that he is willing to use his rivals’ uncertainty to his advantage – as anyone successful in the ‘Piranha Club’ world of Formula 1 does.

Having already brought former Red Bull head of aerodynamics and long-time Newey colleague Dan Fallows to Silverstone as technical director two years ago, among a host of other hires, Fallows’ signature was just one in a long list of people Aston Martin have brought in as their hiring spree supplemented their expansion into their impressive new factory, along with a new in-house wind tunnel to match.

Newey’s loyalty to Red Bull has been impressive in its own way, joining the team in their second year on the grid back in 2006 after another reported ‘big-money’ move from McLaren at the time.
