Aston Martin team principal Adrian Newey returned to the F1 paddock at the Monaco Grand Prix but he was absent from the press conference.
Adrian Newey has made a return to the F1 paddock for the Monaco Grand Prix after a lengthy absence, but there has been no word from the 67-year-old design genius. When it comes to the team principals’ press conference, typically Newey would step in, but this time around team ambassador Pedro de la Rosa took his place. Aston Martin, with Newey back at a circuit for the first time since Australia’s season opener, still struggles with reliability issues and holds the last place in the Constructors’ championship. Honda’s power unit has been a major factor in Aston Martin’s woes. De la Rosa, who previously worked with Newey at McLaren, praised the engineer’s dedication and exceptional listening skills that benefit the team.
