Aston Martin team principal Andy Cowell revealed that technical director Adrian Newey is already pushing the boundaries of Formula 1 car design in his new role at the team. Newey, known for his traditional methods and obsession with tight packaging for aerodynamic performance, is leading the development of Aston Martin’s Honda-powered 2026 car under the new F1 regulations. The team’s new facilities and close collaboration between aerodynamicists, engineers, and Newey have accelerated the development process significantly. With Newey on board, the team is focusing on defining the overall concept of the car for F1’s new era. The stability provided by having drivers Alonso and Stroll already contracted through 2026 allows the team to work on long-term development and future concepts.
