Aston Martin ‘extract’ crucial Red Bull tool ahead of Newey arrival
Aston Martin boss Andy Cowell confirmed the successful extraction of Adrian Newey’s iconic drawing board from Red Bull before his arrival at the team. Newey, known for his preference for hand-drawn designs over computer-aided ones, will start at Aston Martin on March 3rd after leaving Red Bull in 2024. In 2006, Red Bull had to negotiate with McLaren’s Ron Dennis to obtain the drawing board from Woking. Cowell mentioned that Newey’s office is prepared, and the board is in place at Aston Martin’s facility in Silverstone. Additionally, Cowell stated that Newey would undergo a new employee induction, meeting key engineering and technical staff, familiarizing with tools, and working on the 2026 car. He expressed excitement about the collaboration and anticipated a smooth integration process for the legendary designer.
