Aston Martin boss Mike Krack has conceded his team would have to make an “effort” to “integrate” and “adjust” their F1 technical structure to accommodate Adrian Newey.

Aston Martin have been heavily linked with Newey since his departure from Red Bull was announced ahead of the Miami Grand Pr♈ix earlier this year.

Newey will leave Red B🅠ull in the first quarter of 2025, leaving him open to joining another F1 team.

Aston Martin have 𝄹seemingly overtaken Ferrari as the favourites to sign 🍰Newey.

Reports in Italy have cl💃aimed that a huge offer has been made to Newey to join Aston Ma🐓rtin, which is owned by billionaire Lawrence Stroll.

Stroll ha𒐪s been ambitious in his plans for the team with the creation of an incredible headquarters at Silverstone, while recruiting some of the best personnel in F1, including ex-Mercedes chief Andy Cowell.

Speaking to media including at the Dutch Grand Prix on Friday, Krack was asked abജout the latest Newey speculation.

“I was on holiday💜 over the summer break, so cannot really comment on that. We are becoming a more and more attractive team,” Krack said in the FIA pres🅘s conference.

“We have great structure, infrastructure developing. We 🎐are honoured to be put together with that name.”

Aston Martin alread💝y have an extensꦓive technical team which includes former Red Bull aero chief Dan Fallows.

When asked whether Aston Martin could accommodate Newey into their existing technicꦚal structure, Krack replied: “Someone like that, you have to make any kind of effort to integrate and adjust your structure to get the best out of it.”

The Silve💧rstone-based outfit has enjoyed a remarkable transformation under Stroll’s leaꦅdership.

Stroll took over the team when it was Force India - one of the smallest teams on the grid -ಞ often over peꦏrforming relative to the amount of cash they had to spend.

Krack admꦬitted that the changes over the last few years has mean🅘t that Aston Martin are now in a position where they can match someone of Newey’s ambition.

“When I joined, I went i💙nto the old brick house of the former Jordan factory, and if you pass from the A43 into Silverstone you see this has massively changed,” he explained.

“So𝐆, from that point of viౠew it's a completely different structure, a completely different team.

“The headcount has almost doubled since. This paired with the ambition and everything that goes into these buildings I think makes us very attractive for the futur🍒e.”
