168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso has revealed that working with design guru Adrian Newey is a career dream amid speculation he could join Aston Martin in F1 2025.
Newey will be a free agent from early-2025 after Red Bull announced that he would be leaving the team ahead of thi💦s weekend's Miami Grand Prix.
The 65-year-old has been instrumental to Red Bull's success over the years, starting in the early 2010s with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sebastian Vettel.
Ironically, it was Alonso who was on the other end of the Vettel-Newey combination, losing out on the 2010 and 2012 world cham🥂pionships.
In 2022, Red Bull returned to being F1's dominan▨t force, with Newey playing a key role in their strong form in the 'ground ef𒉰fect' era.
Newey has since be♚en linked with Ferrari and Alonso's 🤡current team, Aston Martin.
Speaking about the news, Alonso hai🍬led New✨ey as a "legend of the sport."
"I always wanted to work with him o⛎nce in my life," Alonso said in Mia꧟mi. "I respect him a lot. I consider him the best probably F1 ever had, a legend of the sport.
"I feel in a way privileged to drive alongside him in the paddock, obviously as a competitor, but I feel lucky to be part of his journey and he was part of my journey as well because he always competed against his 𝄹cars."
Alonso was close to joining Red Bull💞 on a couple of occasions during his F1 career, most ♈notably in 2008 and 2009.
The two-time world champion shed light on his talks with Red Bull, confirming that Newey was part of those nego❀tiations.
"I ൲was close [to joining Red Bull] a few times," he added. "𝓰Even spoke with him a few times because some of those meetings in the past were not only with Christian and Helmut [Marko], some of them was with Adrian.
"I always expressed my admiration to him and he was always s💞haring his respect also to me. Let's see what he does in the future."
Alonso was candid on the prospect of Aston Mart✨in signing Newey, adding: "It's a question for Lawrence. We are very happy with our technical department. Adrian is the best or one of the best out there but he needs to fit in a team. It's more Lawrence's decision than Adrian's, ultimately, decision that needs to happen.
"We are not focused on that at the moment there are ൲a lot of things we n🍃eed to fix on the car here in Miami."
