The image makes Ferrari fans dream: Adrian Newey observes Carlos Sainz’s car on the grid in Miami just before speaking with Piero Ferrari. The statements by the son of Enzo are eloquent.
The man of the moment in the Formula One paddock is undoubtedly the one who has just announced his departure from Red Bull. After nearly twenty years of service at the Milton Keynes team, Adrian Newey will leave the team to likely dive into a new adventure, which for everyone has a name and a surname: Scuderia Ferrari.
On the starting grid of the Miami Sprint Race, the technician from Colchester closely observes the red and blue single-seater of the Spanish Carlos Sainz. The photo is emblematic and makes fans of the Prancing Horse dream.
Adrian Newey stands alone in front of Maranello’s creation. Or rather, not alone. Beside him also appears Piero Ferrari, the son of the founder of the Scuderia Ferrari Grand Prix motor racing team, and subsequently of the Ferrari automobile marque. The two talk on the starting lineup, then the 78-year-old from Italy is approached by Mara Sangiorgio’s Sky Sport microphones.
The question is natural, spontaneous, and immediate and concerns the British engineer at the center of market rumors. “What signal is this?”
Piero Ferrari cannot be explicit and tries to hide: “I only asked him if he is coming to do the Classic Cavalcade with the historic cars. Last year he came and we drove together for three days!” And he continues: “He is passionate about Ferrari…”

The Sky Italia journalist takes the cue: “Is he passionate about Ferrari enough to… arrive?”
Piero Ferrari replies more with gestures than with words. The body language is eloquent, the businessman opens his arms and smiles: “I don’t know… I don’t know…”
The statements are cryptic, the hints less so. Piero Ferrari and Adrian Newey together on the starting grid in Miami give hope to the fans of the red team. The distinguished engineer is at his last F1 race with Red Bull and Ferrari seems really about to place the move for 2025, despite Christian Horner’s statements on Friday, which appeared to many as mere formalities.
