I can assure you that this is going to be Fernando Alonso's greatest opportunity to win his long-awaited third world title after more than a decade. Whether he succeeds or not is another matter. Nobody knows the future. But the potential is there. And that is the reason why Fernando Alonso returned to Formula 1 after his temporary retirement. It's because he was waiting for a moment like THIS. So I can assure you that his best chance of getting the third world title after more than a decade.
Wonderful news, Alonso can make history now and get the titles he deserves. Even if Aston are 5 seconds a lap faster Fernando would still deserve 3 more titles
I think the fact that Newey is on gardening is more beneficial for AM. He has all this time to study the new regulations without having to worry about the current ones.
Lol their problem has been being unable to develop the car... Newey's pretty good at that. Sure Stroll isn't up to standard but that's irrelevant to the other car... which hasn't reached podiums has it?
adrian newey isn't bringing anything all that good to any team he's going to. He's been there done it all and now hes on the verge of retirement. all hes really gonna bring is a leadership presence.
Alonso knew Newey was joining. That's why he signed a new deal even after their performance dropped off. He knew. Maybe for once, history will have worked in hos favour.
i think they know better than you, newey isn't the absolute solution for their problems, ferrari can build winning cars, their problem is more than this and i think fred wants to change how ferrari operates, and this will take time
@@kenzabel5394 Ferrari last won the Constructors in 2008 and Driver's in 2007. That's 16 & 17 years ago! I hope you fail in life a long with Ferrari's fumble you absolute moron.
Great to see different teams making strides, Aston building top-grade engineering, Mclaren challenging, Merc and Ferrari in the mix too. RB downfall... exciting times, let's hope it stays like that.
I honestly can't understand why Adrian Newey would want to go to a team like Aston with all the BS and politics going on in that team. I'd love to see Fernando in a competitive car, but not Stroll.
I'd love to see Alonso get another WDC, but realistically I don't think he can save Aston Martin. It's not a serious company. Nepo boy is proof that they're not taking things seriously. Papa Stroll's money is actually not good for them; rather it's a symptom of a huge problem. That said, I hope I'm wrong because Alonso would have 10 WDC by now if he had signed with Merc a decade ago.
I see Aston Martin as the new home of Max Verstappen in 2026. I’m an Alonso fan so I’m hoping ALO gets at least 2 years with Newey to get back onto the top step of the podium or another championship??? But I’m not holding my breath.
He's worth it. He has more championships to his name than most of the drivers. I'd love to see Alonso win his 3rd championship! Wow! Then retire to pursue to win his Indy 500.
I'm pretty sure it's a violation of the geneva convention for Stroll to get a newey F1 car. Absolutely criminal if this dud gets a possible title winning car
Aston Martin are an ambitious team and one where Newey will be able to wield significant influence. Also, Honda will be powering Aston Martin in 2026 and he worked with them previously with Red Bull.
I can't believe that merc or ferrari didn't throw everything towards Newey to bring him to their team. Especially ferrari given their struggles for over 10 yrs!! Merc is probably bit more relaxed since they beat Newey from 2014 to 2021!!
From what I read Newey wants total control over hiring of the engineers! Ferrari was not willing to give him total control.Doesn’t make sense to tear down a good team that just needs tweaking! Aston needs way more help currently and Lawrence doesn’t mind throwing away good money and firing people if it does not work out.
They just need sort of a guide on how to progress and they got the best. Aston Martin team would be galvanized. He always said he would like to work with Alonso and Hamilton. Its gonna be interesting how they would work together.
Good for Newey choosing his destiny. I just wish big moves like this is not always about money and power at the end of the day. Sometimes I’d like to see the greats do it for the love of the sport, legacy and heritage.
He did and I reckon Horner will be calling it a day before very long, I reckon with the continual infighting going on at Red Bull Horner has his millions and will stop.
20 million a year does not seem like much for what Adrian Newey brings ! I also find it hard to believe that he has signed up to make a car for Lance Stroll to win a championship (no offence to Lance but you know what I mean) . There may be a few more twists and turns in this story.
The only way Lance has a chance of winning a F1 WDC is on whichever games console he plays with the difficulty set to beginner. Even then I don't think he could manage it
you're wrong I'm afraid - Lance is only in F1 bc he's playing out his fathers own dreams and aspirations. And THAT'S why Lance is so apathetical at races
Ferrari has really botched it yet again. They refused to set up base in the UK to help with securing top class talent, worse still instead of spending huge money to land Newey, they blew it on a 40 year old Hamilton. Well, they better hope and pray all these ex-Mercedes engineers they are signing can get their act together, otherwise there will be no light at the end of the tunnel for the Scuderia in the near future at the very least. But, as long as Aston Martin has Newey, I will never bet against them. My outlook on Ferrari? The wait since Kimi's championship in 2007 some 17 years ago will continue.
It's kinda amusing how Lawrence and Aston are throwing as much money as they can to bring the team to a winning level but continues to shoot themselves in the foot by continuing to have Stroll as a driver.
If one has been watching closely Fernandos demeanor for a while now, he has been pretty cool with an under performing car. This is NOT the Fernando of old, rather a Fernando who knew that this was on the horizon and he has been grinning behind the scenes from ear to ear. Game on if this materilaizes.
Martin brundle did drop this hint in the grid walk when he asked Mr stroll either in Holland or Italy I forgot which one now but I knew straight away yeah he’s going there 😂
It will probably take some time before they are really capable of winning the world championship. But I am confident that Newey will be able to get points and podiums out of them in the relatively short term.
Newey has a great challenge of making the car so fast that Alonso could singlehandedly win the drivers championship as the karting kid will only scratch his chin during the intervirews after the race
So much for the comments Newey made that he is in a position to choose a passion project and not a team based on salary. 20 million seems to have changed that. Really hoped he would have picked Ferrari or Williams but money talks I guess.
I’d like you at sky to get to the bottom of other issues and stories that have been left open, I want to know why the RB now is so slow, I want an in depth tech investigation as to why the RB is not as fast as it was,
You ask "Are Aston Martin on the brink of signing Adrian Newey?" This is the problem with social media and sports reporting these days. This has been known for months, its been discussed for months before its actually been confirmed so now it finally gets confirmed everyone is like....Yes, ok?
It’s been on the cards months ago. Fernando was talking about making it his last season in F1. All of a sudden he changed his mind and signed a new contract. What do you reckon?
If Adrian can produce a car that wins the title with Fernando at the wheel it will be some achievement. But my guess is that Max will replace Alonso before that happens.
Other than them being a UK based team I can't see why he is signing with them. He doesn't need the money, Alonso is to old and Stroll is well, Stroll. Crazy.
I wish Lance would either improve his driving or his media interaction, right now he is an absolute drain on the sport. I would love to see Danny Ric in a adrian newey honda powered aston :)

Adrian Newey not being able to start work until March doesn't mean anything, there's still ways for him to work on the 2025 Aston Martin AMR25.

It ain't no coincidence, pal.

Wonder who was driving it. Someone who works for a team based at MK.
They have steering wheels on Audi, and Craig didn't stand on road so there is no real danger😁

I'm pretty sure it's a violation of the geneva convention for Stroll to get a newey F1 car. Absolutely criminal if this dud gets a possible title winning car
Dude was given a top class car in 23 and never even set foot on the podium.

Hopefully one of the clauses in his terms was that Lance will leave. Giving that guy the benefit of a Newey designed car is like blasphemy.
