Adrian Newey on Friday night admitted he is flattered that Lewis Hamilton is trying to woo him to Ferrari.
Hamilton is leaving Mercedes for the Scuderia next season and Newey, Formula One’s leading designer, is on the market after announcing this week that he will be leaving Red Bull before his contract was due to expire.
Ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, Hamilton was asked if he would welcome the chance to work with Newey, 65. ‘Very much,’ he replied. ‘He’s top of my wish list.’
Newey, speaking for the first time since news of his impending departure was made public, responded by saying: ‘It was very kind of Lewis to say that, but at the moment I’m just taking a bit of a break and we’ll see what happens next.’
Mail Sport understands Ferrari have definitely spoken to Newey about moving there, but have yet to close the deal.
