Johnny Herbert believes it is ‘best’ if Adrian Newey joins Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari
Adrian Newey‘s exit from Red Bull in the 2024 season came as a shocker to everyone on the grid. Multiple people believed that the aero-genius would consider joining Hamilton at Ferrari. Hence, even Johnny Herbert believed that it was best to have the 65-year-old join Scuderia. Additionally, the 60-year-old believed that this conversation happened between the two legendary individuals in F1.
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.Johnny Herbert concluded
Lewis Hamilton will still have to focus on his highly positive Mercedes project ongoing in the 2024 season. Brackley has provided the 39-year-old with great opportunities as he already won two races this season. Hence, the remainder of the season will witness Hamilton end the season as a Silver Arrow on a high.
