Adrian Newey reportedly signed a lucrative deal with Aston Martin, though the confirmation is expected in September. Aston Martin’s Dan Fallows highlights the struggles all F1 teams face in optimizing car upgrades under the current regulations. Mercedes has been cautioned about the risk of promoting young talent Kimi Antonelli, who is speculated to potentially replace Lewis Hamilton next season.
