"In Ferrari he will have the role of super consultant starting from April 2025 , with the possibility of working on the new project of the 2026 car.

The report added that Newey would "also possibly [be] intervening in the race[s] given that he will arrive when the season has just begun."

Newey would be a major coup for the Scuderia given his reputation for design genius. Since 2006, he has been highly influential in Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen's eras of domination.
