The Silverstone-based squad has announced that Adrian Newey will start working as its Managing Technical Partner in March 2025 following the conclusion of his contract with Red Bull. Aston Martin has successfully secured the services of the series’ most accomplished designer on a long-term deal, aiming to establish itself as a strong championship contender. Newey, aged 65, will join a prestigious technical team led by Technical Director Dan Fallows and former Ferrari engineer Enrico Cardile. Despite initial interest from Ferrari, a misalignment in negotiations led to Aston Martin winning the race to bring Newey on board. Lawrence Stroll, the team’s owner, has confirmed that Newey will take on a permanent leadership role within the technical team, overseeing day-to-day operations and providing direction as the company’s partner and shareholder. Newey’s arrival will coincide with the beginning of work on new technical regulations for 2026, as Aston Martin also prepares to partner with engine supplier Honda. Stroll believes that securing Newey’s expertise is a major milestone in Aston Martin’s journey towards becoming a formidable force in Formula 1, emphasizing the importance of their strong management team and valuable partnerships with companies like Aramco and Honda in achieving their ambitious goals.
