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

Red Bull's legendary car designer received th♛e offer from Aston Martin over the F1 Sa♈udi Arabian Grand Prix, report.

The offer from Lawrence Stroll🐠's team w𒀰ould put Newey on a similar salary to the top F1 drivers.

Dan Fallows♒, once Newey's colleague at Red Bull, left 𝄹to join Aston Martin in 2022.

Newey has beenꦏ with Red Bull since 20﷽05, a key cog in the F1 titles won by Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen.

He is the genius 🌞behind ♈last year's record-breaking RB19 and this season's RB20.

Newey has been subject of interest from rivals before🉐, most notably from Ferrari.

But the i🥂nternal turmoil that has engulfed Red Bull off-track this year makes the timing of Aston Martin's offer intriguing.

Backed by billiona𝔉ire owner Strolꦍl, Aston Martin are keen to become one of F1's top teams.

They have built a new headquarte൩rs and will partner with Honda from 2ও026.

Their coup to sign Fernando Alonso last year was justified by impressive results, and they hope to cling 💞onto him for a third season in 20𒀰25.

But fascinatingly, signing Newey might op✤en the door f꧃or Aston Martin to 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 signing him to replace Ferrari-bound Lewis 𝓡Hamilton.

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

But there is no guarantee tha🌄t they wilဣl be successful.

Last year, Newey penned an exte💖nsion to his stay with Red Bull and had no intentionജ to leave.
