Red Bull announced in May that Newey would leave in꧂ early 2025 after 19 years a🦄t the core of the team.
Aston Martin are reportedly set to announce a deal with the 65-year-old in the coming weeks, having emerged as the most likely destination for him, despꦓite ini💖tial interest from Ferrari.
While Aston Martin had not previously spoken publicly about their talks with Newey, Stroll ha🍌s made his admiration of hiওm known.
"I certainly hope so. Ad💖rian and I have been talking not only for months but actually for years," Stroll told Bloomberg.
"Adrian is clearly the most talented and gifted individual in🤪 Formula One, based on his track record and history.
"So, I'd be very excited for Adrian to join our team, as I think ꦍevery o🧜ther Formula One team on the grid would feel exactly the same.
"You can definit🍎ely assume that [I would pull out all th📖e stops]."
Newey's decis🍸ion to leave Red Bull𝓀 was influenced by the tumultuous period behind the scenes for the reigning F1 constructors' champions.
Controversy surrounded team principal Christian Horner at the start o🍬f the season as he was accused of engaging in inappropriate controlling behaviour towards a female member of staff, accusations he denied and was cleared of following an independent investigation.
Newey will not have to serve a period of gardening leave and will be abl🦄e to oversee the development of a 2026 car.
