Adrian Newey is preparing for an intense period at Aston Martin as he joins the team in March and also catches up on the 2026 technical regulations released in January by the FIA. He acknowledges the challenge of understanding how the team operates, getting to know everyone, providing guidance, and adapting to working with the team. Despite starting two months behind, Newey is eager to embrace the challenge and bring out the best in each team member. His collaboration with Red Bull’s power unit partner Honda adds to the appeal of his move to Aston Martin, as he praises Honda’s reliability and straightforwardness in their working relationship. Looking ahead at the ’26 rules as an opportunity for all teams, Newey remains focused on doing the best job possible and letting the results speak for themselves.
