The Silverstone-based squad announced last month that Adrian Newey, the most decorated designer in Formula 1, will join as its Managing Technical Partner after leaving Red Bull Racing. Newey expressed his desire to conclude his tenure with Red Bull earlier this year but is currently on gardening leave until March. His role at Aston Martin will involve overseeing the technical department and playing a significant part in designing their car for the 2026 technical regulations. Despite the excitement surrounding Newey’s arrival, Aston Martin’s Team Principal Mike Krack is cautious about communicating with him due to his existing contract with a rival team. The team’s performance on track has declined this season, currently sitting fifth in the Constructors’ Championship with 86 points. While Newey’s involvement has lifted morale, Krack emphasizes the team must not become complacent and must use the upcoming season as motivation to demonstrate their capabilities. Acknowledging the team’s shortcomings in progress under the current ruleset, Krack emphasizes the importance of addressing setbacks and closing the gap to the leading teams.
