Adrian Newey reveals ‘opposite’ approach to Aston Martin design
Adrian Newey is taking an innovative approach with his first design for Aston Martin, aiming to create a car with significant potential for development and competitiveness in Formula 1.
Newey, who joined Aston Martin as managing technical partner last March, is viewed as a crucial addition to Lawrence Stroll’s strategic team, which has been investing heavily in the team’s pursuit of championship glory.
The debut of the Newey-designed Aston Martin at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya drew praise for its design ingenuity, despite completing only 65 laps during the shakedown.
The car will undergo comprehensive testing during the upcoming two three-day sessions in Bahrain to assess its performance and readiness for the season.
While the car’s immediate competitiveness for the Australian Grand Prix is uncertain, Newey is confident in the team’s ability to evolve and refine the car throughout the season.
With a focus on fundamental elements and a strategy for continuous development, Aston Martin aims to maximize the car’s potential and stay competitive in the evolving F1 landscape.
