Ex-champion says he is not disappointed that star designer chose Aston Martin

NEWEY DID WHAT'S BEST FOR HIM: LEWIS

Lewis Hamilton on Sept 12 dismissed suggestions that he felt disappointed, or snubbed, by star designer Adrian Newey's decision to join Aston Martin in 2025 instead of leaving Red Bull for Ferrari.

The seven-time champion insisted he felt "privileged" to have worked with two title-winning teams at McLaren and Mercedes, without Newey, but added that it would have been an "honour" to work with him in Italy next season.

"Any team probably would have been happy to have had him," said Hamilton of the 65-year-old Briton who confirmed on Sept 10, at a glitzy announcement ceremony, that he will move to Aston Martin next season.

"At the end of the day, he had to do what was best for him. It doesn't change anything for me.
