Adrian Newey has reportedꦕly been offered a big-money contract to join Aston Martin.

Red Bull's legendary car designer received the offer from Aston M🗹artin over the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, ✱report.

The offer from Lawrence Stroll's team would put Neweyౠ on a similar salary to the top F1 drivers.

Dan Fallows, once Newey's co🦂lleague at Red Bull, left to ﷽join Aston Martin in 2022.

Newey has been with Red Bull since 2005, a key cog in t�🍌�he F1 titles won by Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen.

He is the genius behind last year's record-breaki༒n♛g RB19 and this season's RB20.

Newey has been s🐷ubject o𒀰f interest from rivals before, most notably from Ferrari.

But the internal turmoil that has engulfed Red Bull off-track 📖this year makes the timing of Asꦯton Martin's offer intriguing.

Backe💟d by billionaire owner Stroll, Aston Martin ♍are keen to become one of F1's top teams.

They have built a new headquarters and will partner with Honda f💞rom 2026.

Their coup to sign Fernando Alonso last year was justified byꦍ impressive results, and they hope to cling onto him for a third season in 2025.

But fascinatingly, ﷽signing Newey might open the door for Aston Martin to𒈔 become a legitimate destination for Verstappen.

Although Verstappen has pledged loyalty to Red 🍌Bull (where he is contracted until 2028), Mercedes are openly discussing the possibility of signin🙈g him to replace Ferrari-bound Lewis Hamilton.

However, first on Aston Martin's plan is 🃏to recruit Newey, widely recognised as F1's greatest car designer.

But there is ෴no guarantee that they will be successful.

Last year, Newey penned an extension to his stay with Red Bull and had no intention to leav🅺e.
