Lewis Hamilton says it would be “amazing” if Ferrari sign Adrian Newey after he leaves Red Bull in early 2025.

Newey, who is regarded as F1’s greatest car designer, will be free to join a team from April 2025 after negotiating an exit from Red Bull.

Sky Sports News understands Newey held a meeting with a Ferrari representative in the last week. Newey’s most interested in a move to Ferrari, despite a lucrative offer from Aston Martin.

Should Newey join the Scuderia, he would work with Hamilton, who has signed a multi-year deal to join Ferrari from 2025.

“Adrian has got such a great history and track record. He’s obviously done an amazing job through his career and engaging with teams and the knowledge he has. I think he would be an amazing addition,” said Hamilton.

“Ferrari have already got a great team. They are already making huge progress and strides, their car is quicker this year.

“He [Newey] would be a privilege to work with.”

Asked how much he would like to see Newey join Ferrari, Hamilton added: “Very much.”
