A printing error led to a swathe of speculation about Jonathan Wheatley’s rumoured move to Aston Martin.
The sign found at the Canadian Grand Prix parking lot led to speculation that Jonathan Wheatley had already joined the Aston Martin Formula 1 team, although it was just a mistake. F1 photographer Kym Ilman’s Instagram post triggered rumors, showing a sign on a parking space reserved for Wheatley, reading “Jonathan Wheatley Aston Martin.” Despite the confusion, Aston Martin is expected to eventually hire Wheatley as the team principal following his sudden departure from Audi. This move would allow legendary F1 designer Adrian Newey to focus on car development for the future, as the Adrian Newey-Aston Martin collaboration has faced early challenges. Wheatley’s next steps remain unconfirmed, with the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve promoter issuing an apology for the confusion caused by the printing error on the sign.
