The Silverstone-based squad has announced that F1’s most decorated individual will be switching to the team in 2025 in a new Managing Technical Partner role. Ferrari was initially viewed as the top contender to secure Newey post his Red Bull departure, but opted out of a potential bidding war. Aston Martin has successfully signed Newey to a long-term contract reportedly worth £20 million per year, making him a shareholder as well. Stroll, the team owner, believes Newey’s vast expertise in leading Aston Martin’s technical department justifies the significant financial investment. Newey, sharing insights, revealed discussions with multiple teams but eventually chose Aston Martin due to its alignment with his aspirations. Describing Aston Martin as an iconic brand almost on par with Ferrari, Newey is enthusiastic about the partnership, citing his familiarity and admiration for the company’s heritage and upcoming projects.
