An interesting claim has been made regarding which drivers are preferred by Adrian Newey, the renowned constructor in the world of Formula 1. According to German journalist Ralf Bach, the legendary specialist currently working at Aston Martin may consider Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc suitable for his cars.
Idman.Biz reports that Bach spoke about this during a live broadcast on the "F1-Insider" YouTube channel. According to the journalist, the cars created by Newey are most effective for drivers with a certain driving style.
Ralf Bach noted that, according to Newey, Leclerc's driving style is the best fit for his cars. The journalist recalled that in recent years, Red Bull cars have been tailored to Max Verstappen's driving style, and those cars reached their fastest state when they were driven by pilots who could handle them.
According to Bach, Aston Martin and Adrian Newey highly value Leclerc because his driving style is very close to Max Verstappen's style. This could be a decisive factor for the constructor.
It should be noted that Adrian Newey is considered one of the most successful constructors in the history of Formula 1, and which pilot he wants to work with is always of particular interest in the paddock.
