Hamilton, who made his F1 debut with McLaren in 2007, shortly after Newey had left the team, was then asked about how much the competitive landscape could change in F1 going forward, given Red Bull’s recent dominance – even if the 65-year-old decides to step away from the sport.
“From my perspective, when I joined McLaren, I think it was an evolution of his car… I think I got there just after he left,” he said. “That car had evolved from a concept that he had worked on, so I felt privileged that I’d had the chance to touch something that he’d worked on.

“Racing against the team that he’s been so heavily a part of through the years has been a massive challenge, but I think we just always need to remember that there’s a lot of people in the background, and there’s not one key person… it’s not one person, it’s a whole team of people who do the job.
“You can imagine of all the amazing experience that he brings to the team, the people that he works with will continue to do an amazing job, and I don’t anticipate Red Bull not continuing to build great cars moving forwards. But any team would be fortunate to have the opportunity to work with him.”
