Biggest influence: Red Bull boss Newey before moving to Aston Martin

Although things have been quiet over the past few days, things are still looking up behind the scenes in the bullpen. Although team boss Horner, who was accused of sexually harassing a female employee, was released after an internal investigation, the other side does not want to accept this. The employee is said to have lodged a complaint on his part.

Horner, who is presumed innocent, still has 51% Thai owners around Chalerm Yoovidhya behind him. Due to this situation, the investigation against Horner is also seen in a different perspective. Because, as the internal forum InsiderF1 reports, the head of the compliance investigation “unfortunately” is the London lawyer of the Yoovidhya family. Disgusted by this trick, star designer Andrian Newey (65) is said to be increasingly losing interest in having a racing team, whose success he played a big part in.

Aston Martin billionaire lures Newey with multi-million offer

In addition, the Englishman will be driven by Horner to the new hypercar sports car project. That could benefit Aston Martin. Under the headline: “Newey before Aston Martin changes,” Sport-Bild reports on a high-paying offer intended to entice Newey to join billionaire Lawrence Stroll’s Formula 1 team.

Given the regulatory revolution in 2026, that would make sporting sense. We also hear from Red Bull that Horner is now relying on Pierre Waché, who is 16 years his junior: The 45-year-old was already heavily involved in the development of Verstappen’s current car.

Fears by the competition that Newey may, as already indicated, want to build a future world champion car for record champion Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari are said to be unfounded. It is said that Newey wants to stay in England at the end of his professional career. Aston Martin is perfectly suited to the excellent new factory at Silverstone.
