Without exaggeration, it can be said that the most surprising transfers of the 2024 season are linked to the names of Adrian Newey and Lewis Hamilton.
And it is also expected that if anything is going to have a significant impact on power relations in the years to come, then this will also be related to them.
Fernando Alonso sees this too, who believes they are the biggest fish in that lake!
"Adrian Newey will always have a bigger impact on Formula 1 than any driver. Drivers are here, they come and go, but that's it. There are twenty of us here trying to compete as well as we can and we've achieved some great results, but that doesn't compare to what Adrian has achieved. I don't know how much Hamilton can contribute to Scuderia Ferrari, but I'm sure it's less than a star designer can do."
Adrian is a free spirit, no one can tell him which direction to go and what to do. If he thinks it is worth investing in 2025, then this year we will be stronger, and this will also be seen on the track. If he thinks we have to sacrifice this year to take off in 2026, that is also fine. He works according to clear principles, we will not lose a day, because he will have clear ideas and he does not want to lose a day. He has received a completely free hand from Lawrence Stroll, and I am very excited about what he will be able to achieve.” - mused the Spanish star who aims to win his third title.
