Jeremy Clarkson makes next F1 prediction after revealing Newey's secret
Jeremy Clarkson has made his next Formula 1 prediction after correctly revealing Adrian Newey's move to Aston Martin. The British presenter revealed that Newey was househunting in Oxfordshire while Ferrari was still the favourite to sign the chief design engineer.
Clarkson is a major fan of Formula 1 and sometimes visits races. At the 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix, he waved the chequered flag and met up with his old friend Adrian Newey on the grid. The two friends went to school together.

In the wake of Aston Martin's announcement, Clarkson revealed how he knew he was going to the British team. "I broke that story about six weeks ago. Everyone said he was going to Ferrari, and I just met him, and he said, 'Oh, I'm looking for a house around you'. And I thought, 'If you're going to Ferrari, why are you buying a house in Oxfordshire?" Clarkson said on Heart Radio before suggesting the team will become successful.
"Aston? Well, they'll win. He's very good, and they seem to have a limitless supply of money, and I think Aston are going to be a force to be reckoned with," Clarkson added.
At a screening to The Grand Tour's final special with Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, the Who Wants to be a Millionaire host was asked about the current Formula 1 season. The Brit believes Max Verstappen will hold on to his lead and beat Lando Norris in the 2024 Formula 1 World Championship.
