Adrian Newey will be attending his first on-site grand prix for Aston Martin in Monaco.
Andy Cowell believes that Adrian Newey’s first trackside appearance for Aston Martin in Monaco will provide valuable insights into areas where the team needs to improve. Newey, who joined Aston as managing technical partner in March, has been focused on designing the 2026 car in the factory, aiming to elevate the team’s performance in the future. Despite the AMR25 car not meeting expectations, with Fernando Alonso yet to score points and Lance Stroll collecting only 14, Newey’s impact on this car has been limited so far. Cowell emphasizes the importance of Newey’s presence in trackside engineering meetings and in the garage, as it will help Aston Martin identify their current strengths and weaknesses. By leveraging Newey’s expertise, the team aims to enhance their performance by analyzing what works well and what needs improvement, ultimately striving to become a more competitive force in Formula 1.
