Hamilton reveals desire to work with Adrian Newey in F1

Hamilton's admiration for Newey

Ahead of his highly anticipated move to Scuderia Ferrari in 2025, Hamilton has openly admitted that Newey tops his list of individuals he would like to work with in the pinnacle of motorsport.

In his remarks ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, Hamilton steered clear of divulging details regarding potential negotiations between Ferrari and Newey, instead focusing on his admiration for the design genius.

"If I was to do a list of people that I'd love to work with, he would absolutely be at the top of it,"

Hamilton affirmed.

A potential game-changer

Hamilton's desire to collaborate with Newey stems from the latter's illustrious career and unparalleled track record in Formula 1.

Acknowledging Newey's profound impact on the teams he has worked with, Hamilton expressed his belief that the designer's expertise would be an "amazing addition" to Ferrari's already formidable technical team.

"Adrian has got such a great history, track record,"

Hamilton remarked.

"He has obviously just done an amazing job through his career and engaging with teams, and the knowledge that he has, and I think he would be an amazing addition."

Ferrari's Potential Resurgence

While the potential loss of Newey's talents could be perceived as a significant blow to Red Bull Racing, Hamilton remains confident in the team's ability to maintain its competitive edge.

"We just always need to remember that there's a lot of people in the background, and there is not one key person,"

he stated, acknowledging the collective efforts of the entire technical team.

Furthermore, Hamilton praised Ferrari's recent progress, highlighting the Italian team's strides towards the front of the field.

"They've already got a great team. They're already making huge progress, strides forwards, and their car is quicker this year,"

he noted, suggesting that the addition of Newey's expertise could further bolster Ferrari's resurgence.

The pursuit of perfection

Despite never having the opportunity to work directly with Newey during his time at McLaren, Hamilton expressed his privilege in being able to drive cars influenced by the designer's concepts.

"When I joined McLaren, I think it was an evolution of his car,"

Hamilton reflected.

"I think I got there just after he left, so that car will have evolved from a concept that he had worked on. I felt privileged that I'd had the chance to touch something that he had worked on."

As the Formula 1 landscape continues to evolve, the prospect of Hamilton and Newey joining forces at Ferrari tantalizes fans and experts alike.

Their shared pursuit of perfection and technical excellence could potentially elevate the Scuderia to new heights, setting the stage for an enthralling chapter in the sport's history.
