Adrian Newey will have a significant impact on Aston Martin’s 2025 car and the 2026 project as he joins his new team, as stated by team principal Andy Cowell. Newey, a design legend, was a key signing for Aston Martin last year, but only started working with the team in March. Cowell expressed excitement about Newey’s arrival, highlighting his impressive track record and the boost he will bring to the team. The plan is to introduce Newey to the key technical players, familiarize him with the engineering tools, and start on the 2026 car while also enhancing the 2025 model.
Cowell is confident in Newey’s role as a managing technical partner within the organization, following recent restructuring efforts for improved efficiency and communication. The focus is on maintaining a balance between current and future projects, ensuring each team member has clear responsibilities. The goal is to foster a culture of excellence, continuous reflection, improvement, and ultimately to outpace the competition through accelerated development. Despite recognizing the variability of human nature and the challenges it presents, the team aims to adapt and continuously strive for excellence.
