Jordan reveals: These are the teams that have asked about Adrian Newey
The Formula 1 world was shocked in Miami, when Red Bull announced Adrian Newey would be leaving the Formula 1 team. Since then, the legendary designer has been linked with nearly every team on the grid including Ferrari, McLaren and Aston Martin. However, on his Formula For Success podcast with David Coulthard, Newey's manager Eddie Jordan has revealed more regarding where Newey might work next.
Where will Newey work next?
Every team would want Adrian Newey as part of their team. He has won 12 Constructor's titles with three different teams, and 13 driver's titles with seven different drivers. Speaking on his podcast, Eddie Jordan revealed more details about where Newey could end up after the British designer was brought up by David Coulthard.
“That's why [Flavio Briatore] wants to obviously involve a discussion with Adrian, which I think is hugely popular for Adrian. Now I understand that every single team in Formula One has spoken to us and indeed two teams that are not currently on the grid at the moment. And I let people think about that.” Jordan stated.
The two teams not yet on the grid are Audi and Andretti. Audi will be taking over the Stake F1 Team in 2026. Andretti made a bid to join F1 as the sport's 11th team, but their bid was rejected. However, Andretti are still pushing to join the top level of motorsport, having opened a factory at Silverstone ready for their Formula 1 operation.
Coulthard did try to push Jordan further into revealing more details regarding Newey's future, including Martin Brundle's interview with Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll during his grid walk on Sunday. However, Jordan kept quiet over this and steered the conversation away.
