**Aston Martin Boss Denies Adrian Newey Recruitment Rumors Amidst Team’s Strategic Shifts**
Aston Martin chief responds to rumors about Adrian Newey discussions
Aston Martin's team leader expresses pride over association with Adrian Newey
Mike Krack from Aston Martin addressed rumors suggesting that the team is negotiating to hire Adrian Newey.
According to The Telegraph this week, Newey went to Silverstone headquarters and discussed his salary with owner Lawrence Stroll.
The team leader Krack faced a direct question about whether Newey will be joining Aston Martin.
Krack shared with Sky Sports that the numerous names associated with their project, despite its relatively recent inception, are a testament to Lawrence's foresight, as well as the contributions from Honda, Aramaco, and all their collaborators.
"It will be intriguing to see how this unfolds."
"However, it lends authenticity to the project."
"Just a few years back, mentioning these names in connection with our team would have been dismissed outright."
"We are quite honored by that."
"This indicates that the project has legitimacy."
Krack was questioned about whether Aston Martin is having discussions with Newey.
"That's right. As you mentioned earlier, rumors are just rumors," he replied.
Numerous individuals are discussing Aston Martin, which is a positive development.
"We'll find out what happens."
The chief technical officer at Red Bull is set to leave the company in the beginning of 2025.
This implies that he can significantly influence the development of a team's inaugural car under the new regulations set to begin in 2026.
The expectation is that technology expert Newey might provide a significant edge to a team striving to become the leading power under the current rules.
Aston Martin needs to take lessons from Mercedes. Despite their strong start earlier in 2023, Aston Martin's performance on the track has hit a standstill, allowing Mercedes to surpass them.
"There are some fascinating similarities; we began the season in a way that mirrors their start," Krack mentioned following a practice session led by Lewis Hamilton at the F1 Spanish Grand Prix.
"They utilize tools that are comparable to ours. It's an opportunity for us to gain knowledge."
"Recently, we've gained a clearer insight into how our car operates."
Krack minimized the likelihood of Fernando Alonso or Lance Stroll performing well this weekend in Barcelona.
"We had a realistic outlook. From the start, we understood that this track would pose a significant challenge," he stated.
"Due to the requirements of the track and the characteristics of the car."
"The same rule will be in effect for the upcoming week. We're aware of that."
"If the circumstances are favorable, or if you make smart decisions while others don't, you can secure points."
