Lewis Hamilton has revealed he ‘very much’ wants to work with design guru Adrian Newey at Ferrari next season.
The positivity of Hamilton’s comments indicated that a deal to sign Newey is firmly in Ferrari’s thoughts, and, probably, even further nearer completion.
With Newey, 65, due to leave Red Bull next year, Hamilton was asked if he wanted to link. ‘Very much,’ he responded before adding: ‘Adrian Newey has got such a great history and track record and he has done an amazing job throughout his career. With the knowledge he has he would be an amazing addition.’
Hamilton added: ‘They (Ferrari) have got a great team and they are making huge progress and their car is quicker this year, but it would be a privilege to work with him.
‘If I made a list of people I would like to work with then he (Newey) would absolutely be at the top of it.
