Adrian Newey received Mercedes phone call in attempt to sign him – reportToto Wolff reportedly had one of his colleagues phone Adrian Newey in an attempt to lure him over to Mercedes with Red Bull’s Helmut Marko having the last laugh.
Their superior performances have been largely attributed to Newey, “the only bloke that can see air”, with Mercedes reportedly keen on enticing him over to Brackley as they try to turn their “poisonous” W14 into a race winner., Mercedes went as far as to approach the design guru in the weeks before he committed his future to Red Bull.
But while this is reportedly the first time Mercedes have made a play for Newey, it’s not the first time a rival has tried to sign him.“It’s come close three times,” Newey told Sky Sports F1. “Initially in my IndyCar career where Ferrari decided to build an IndyCar, I was offered to join as chief designer on their project but didn’t feel it was right so I turned that one down.
The Scuderia made another offer in 2014 when the Red Bull engine supplier Renault dropped the ball and the team went from winning World titles to struggling to reach the podium.
