Adrian Newey’s huge salary from Aston Martin will ꦑbe wel▨l worth it, it has been claimed.

Red Bull’s chief technology officer is just months away fr𝓡om official starting at Aston Martin, where he will be their managing🍎 technical partner and a shareholder.

Aston Martin’s billionaire owner Lawrence Stroll will reportedly make Newey better-paid than 18 of the current 20 F1 d🐲rivers in his pursuit of glory.

“The figure I am most confid❀ent about - and there are a lot of🐼 figures in the public domain - is a basic salary of $25m per year, which is just under £20m,” Sky Sports’ Craig Slater reported.

“The bonuses could lift that by ꦛanother half. So, £30m.

“The agreement is for five yearsඣ but it’s open-ended because he’s a shareholder. So it could be for the foreseeable.

“Those are the terms🌱, which are more competitive t👍han anyone else was offering.

“Eddie Jordan was an aggressive representative for Newey. The bidding started at $5🌜0m but Lawr⛄ence Stroll was able to knock that down. That’s what I’ve been told.

“Martin Brundl൩e always describes Newey as disgracefu🅰lly underpaid.”

Ted Kravitz added: “That’s a bargain. Stroll said he was a barg🍎ain.

“If you move from fifth in the constructors’ to fourth, it’s £15m. Fifth 🍃to 🥀first, let’s say in a couple of years, there is your £50m.”

Slater added: “He will work full-time here. At Red Bull he was involved in o𝓡ther✃ projects.

“He signalled that he would put in a good, hard shift. It is F1-focused, any road car proje🐬ct ꦆis for down the line.

“The priority is to get the F1 team winning.”

Newey will officially s🐭tart at the Silverstone-based team in March.

F1’s greatest-ever car designer will have time to ov꧑ersee Aston Martin’s 2026 car, potಌentially giving them a massive advantage for when the new regulations start.
