Adrian Newey announced that 2024 will be his last full season with Red Bull, and it was revealed on Tuesday that he will join Aston Martin next season after bringing his title-winning knowledge from Williams and McLaren to Red Bull before the 2006 season, contributing to all 13 of the team’s titles. Helmut Marko noted that Newey’s impact was significant during the team’s early years, but with advancements in technology and team size, the collective effort is now key. Aston Martin’s technical team, led by Newey and supported by Lawrence Stroll’s investment, aims for championship glory, alongside Chief Technical Officer Enrico Cardile and Technical Director Dan Fallows. With a new wind tunnel at Silverstone and a Honda engine partnership in 2026, Newey will work to make Aston Martin a title contender as Red Bull seeks to improve amidst struggles with their RB20 car. Departing with Newey, Sporting Director Jonathan Wheatley will move to Sauber as Team Principal in mid-2025, as Marko supports employees exploring new opportunities.
