Adrian Newey makes Fernando Alonso prediction with ‘destructive force’ discussedAdrian Newey has weighed in on the topic of putting two ‘number one’ drivers together in one team, assessing both Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso…
Newey was asked to pick out a ‘Team Newey’, two drivers from the roster of World Champions his cars have helped to titles, to race together. However, the British engineer couldn’t be coaxed on the topic, but instead diplomatically addressed it.“All those guys are very different in their character and their makeup. Some of them have a very high level of self-belief. That, I think, has been one of their keys. But not all of them, they are so different.
“So if you’re going to have two teammates, where one is exceptional, and the other is brilliant but not quite at that level, the other one needs to be somebody who will, at some points, accept that he certainly can’t beat Max, for instance, on pace. You’re going to have to do it in some other way which, of course, has been done – if you look at Niki [Lauda] and Alain [Prost] against each other.
Part of the dynamic comes down to the age of the drivers, Newey believes, with maturity and wisdom perhaps allowing for greater harmony.
