Amanda Newey, the wife of renowned F1 designer

Amanda Newey, the wife of renowned F1 designer Adrian Newey, recently responded to accusations that her husband disrespected Lewis Hamilton in an interview. These accusations arose after Adrian’s remarks during a podcast interview were interpreted by some fans as dismissive of Hamilton and Mercedes’ reaction to the controversial 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Adrian Newey’s comments focused on the psychological impact of losing the title in such a contentious manner. He noted that Mercedes seemed unable to move past the loss, while emphasizing that handling setbacks constructively is crucial in F1. A fan on X (formerly known as Twitter) suggested that these remarks showed a lack of respect for Hamilton, prompting Amanda to step in and defend her husband. She clarified that Adrian holds Hamilton in high regard, countering the accusation and emphasizing the mutual respect between the two professionals

Hamilton himself has spoken highly of Newey, particularly when rumors circulated about Newey joining Ferrari. Hamilton expressed that working with Newey would be a “privilege,” showing that there’s no ill will from his side. However, Newey ultimately signed with Aston Martin, opting to join the ambitious team from 2025

This exchange underscores the complex dynamics between key figures in F1, where competition can sometimes lead to misinterpretations, but mutual respect often prevails.
