A fascinating theory surrounding Lewis Hamilton, Adrian Newey and Ferrari has been presented by a former Formula 1 race winner.
Hamilton dropped a bombshell on the sport earlier this season when it was announced that he would be joining Ferrari for 2025 and beyond, putting an end to his long association with his current team, Mercedes.READ MORE: ‘Extraordinary’ meeting set up as FIA announce points change decision
The Mercedes star is not the only big name on the move in the near future, however, with Red Bull design guru Newey also announcing that he will be leaving his current team ahead of next season.
Unlike Hamilton, Newey’s next destination is yet unknown, with links to the likes of Ferrari, Aston Martin, and McLaren.At one point, some even suggested that Newey had signed an eyewatering $105 million deal with the Italian team.READ MORE: Red Bull stalwart QUITS to join rivals

Could Adrian Newey join Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari?
Whilst Hamilton’s move looked like a masterstroke back in February, with Ferrari looking quick and Mercedes struggling, in recent times, those roles have been reversed.This has led to questions over whether or not the seven-time champion could have regrets regarding his decision.However, former F1 driver and Grand Prix winner Johnny Herbert has presented an intriguing theory, suggesting Hamilton has made the right call and that he must have spoken to Ferrari about potentially snapping up Newey alongside himself before joining the team, insisting that there has got to be ‘something going on’.”At the time it was the right decision for him! Mercedes were not looking very good and the mood was dark. The car wasn’t competitive at all. Ferrari were doing better. It was also an opportunity to reset in that quest for an eighth world title,” Herbert explained on Hamilton’s Ferrari move, via TopOffShoreSportsBooks.com.READ MORE: Sainz OFFICIALLY ends contract saga with two-year deal
Adrian Newey remains a free agent for next season and beyond at present
“Mercedes have surprised everybody in how quickly they have turned around that car. Good on them. It is very impressive what they have been able to do. Everyone is saying positive things about the Merc and that they are ahead of the game for 2026 with the power unit.”I think it is still probably the right thing for Lewis to do and see if Adrian Newey joins him.”I am sure it is something that must have been spoken about when he made the announcement that he was leaving to join Ferrari.”There has got to be something going on. Lewis comes with a massive amount of positive baggage. When he opens that bag the respect is huge. The aura he will bring into the factory is very powerful.”The way he works within a team will be a huge positive and a motivation for everyone. A driver has that power to change things.”READ MORE: Has Lewis Hamilton made a massive mistake? – GPFans Belgian GP Hot Takes
