Fred Vasseur issues no comment on Adrian Newey Ferrari rumors

Adrian Newey’s work in multiple teams has led them to monumental success. The aero-genius had an exceptional understanding of the regulation changes. Hence, if the 65-year-old joins Ferrari in the coming season, the real effect will be visible in the regulation changes of the 2026 season. However, Fred Vasseur declined to comment any further on the status quo.

Fred Vasseur highlighted Newey’s mega record in the history of Formula 1. The Team Principal reckoned that the 65-year-old was the most successful engineer in the paddock. However, the 55-year-old refused to issue any comments regarding the move to the Italian constructor for the Englishman. Regardless, the aero-genius will soon provide clarity over his future in the pinnacle of motorsport.

Adrian, he has a mega record. He's the most successful engineer in the paddock. I don't know about statistics, but I would say that it's like this probably. But I have no comment to make on this. Fred Vasseur said, as reported by dailymail.co.uk.

Adrian Newey will finish up his final work on the RB17 Hypercar and leave the team completely.

Winning with Ferrari might be the final piece in the puzzle for the technical wizard in Formula 1. Hence, Newey’s partnership with the Italian manufacturer might take the team to great success.
