The most important topic of discussion in the Formula 1 world might have come to an end. According to Business F1 Magazine, Adrian Newey has officially said yes to Scuderia Ferrari.
The contract was reportedly signed before the Miami Gran Prix, on April 29. The announcement of his departure from the Milton Keynes team came on May 1. It is possible that Red Bull was unaware of this potential agreement.
Adrian Newey’s contract with Ferrari, how much will he earn?
The rumors not only speak of the agreement’s official status but also of the figures and duration. According to reports, Adrian Newey has committed to the Maranello team until 2027 and will earn $105 million.
This is undoubtedly a very significant amount. It seems that an additional $5 million commission will also be paid to Adrian Newey’s manager, Eddie Jordan.
At the moment, everything should be taken with caution. We certainly know that Ferrari has always been the team closest to hiring Adrian Newey, but there is no official announcement of the contract signature yet.
According to Business F1, the legendary car designer currently wants to stay calm and delay the announcement. It seems that the English engineer has not talked about it with many people.
We just have to wait and see if the rumors will be confirmed. Hiring Adrian Newey would certainly be a great asset for Scuderia Ferrari, as team principal Frederic Vasseur wants to continue improving the Maranello team while always focusing on group harmony.
