Fernando Alonso has some ideas on what Aston Martin must do to get the best out of Adrian Newey.
Fernando Alonso has explained Aston Martin’s plan to prepare for the arrival of Adrian Newey during the remainder of the 2025 season. Newey, the managing technical partner, is focusing on the 2026 rules overhaul in Formula 1 since joining earlier this year. Aston Martin is among the first teams to shift their attention and development resources to the following season.
The team hopes that the combination of a new Honda works engine deal, a cutting-edge factory and wind tunnel, and Newey’s expertise will elevate them to championship-contending status. Alonso aims to secure his third crown with the team, building on his previous titles from 2005 and 2006. Despite a challenging season so far, Alonso’s best result was seventh in Canada, with only his recent points finish in Spain coming in ninth place.
Reflecting on the current situation, Alonso emphasized the team’s focus on molding Aston Martin into a competitive force capable of unleashing Newey’s designs in the upcoming season. Alonso stressed that while addressing current car issues is essential, the team must also prioritize preparing for future success under Newey’s guidance in 2026.
