Adrian Newey Aston Martin impact revealed after DISMAL season start
Adrian Newey’s impact on Aston Martin since joining the team in March has been revealed, following his tenure at Red Bull where he contributed to multiple championship wins.
Despite high expectations under Lawrence Stroll’s ownership, Aston Martin’s recent performance has been lackluster, with two-time champion Fernando Alonso yet to score points and the team currently seventh in the constructors’ championship.
Newey’s arrival has brought inspiration to the team, with his expertise in aerodynamics being highly valued, according to Aston Martin ambassador Pedro de la Rosa.
While Newey is focusing on the 2026 car and the upcoming F1 regulations overhaul, Aston Martin aims to establish themselves as a consistent race-winning team powered by Honda starting 2026.
The team remains optimistic about their future success, acknowledging the influence of Newey while highlighting the existing talent within the organization.
