FIA president tests Adrian Newey-designed Aston Martin
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem tested an Adrian Newey Aston Martin project, taking a break from his busy schedule.
Newey became Aston Martin’s managing technical partner in March 2025, focusing on the 2026 car rather than the 2025 one.
Before this role, Newey worked on a special non-F1 project with Aston Martin and Red Bull Advanced Technologies, designing the Aston Martin Valkyrie Spider in 2021.
Ben Sulayem shared his joy of driving the Valkyrie Spider on Instagram, highlighting its V12 engine and excellence.
Adrian Newey, a legendary designer, aims to bring success to Aston Martin in F1 and potentially challenge for championships in the upcoming years.
2026 will be crucial for the project, with major regulation changes in F1 and Aston Martin switching to Honda power units for the next season.
