Adrian Neweythe new signing of Aston Martin and will join the team of Fernando Alonso as the new technical head of the structure from March 2, 2025, was received on Tuesday, upon his arrival at the press conference that announced his new challenge at the headquarters of Silverstonelike a real star.
“There were 800 employees who applauded his arrival. I’ve never seen this level of enthusiasm for any performance. I’ve seen many leave with smiles and positivity”said Lawrence Stroll, owner of Aston Martin, about his current engineers and the added motivation that the arrival of a reference like Newey, the best designer in F1.
No one knows whether in 2026, the great goal of Adrian Newey as the designer of the green car for the new regulations, he will be the champion from the start or not. But he has a license to dream and win. In English engineer, 65 yearshis numbers flatter him. He created cars for 37 years in F1 and in 31 of them he won at least one race. Only 6 of them did not win and added a total of 12 constructors’ titles and 13 drivers’ titles (with the 2024 crown still to be decided).
He did not win in his first two years of F1 debut with Leyton House and neither in the first three years of Red Bull as the team was in full construction (2006, 2007 and 2008). In this case, sign for an Aston Martin that now has all the tools at its disposal, with a new wind tunnel and simulator. The sixth last year without victories was in 2015, a course of extensive dominance by Mercedes thanks to the efficiency of its new hybrid engines.
However, despite these numbers, the Englishman does not think about the pressure and expectations that he generates when he arrives in the green box. “My pressure comes from myself, not from external factors. Frank Williams told me in 1991 that he felt I was the most competitive man in the pit lane and I can’t deny that I was competitive. I force myself to do my best. And I think it’s because I’ve been lucky enough to have decent results, but I no longer feel the need to prove anything and my motivation is always to do the best work.”said Newey before starting a new phase at Aston Martin.
This is how Adrian Newey works
In the green box, his strategy is to focus 100% on the F1 project, something he hasn’t done in years, thinking only about winning and following his plan, which is divided into three parts.
“I like to interact and collaborate with everyone and in different ways. The first is alone, at my drawing table, trying to create and come up with ideas. The second way, and to a greater extent, is the work with my colleagues, my engineers, in all departments and at all levels. And the third is to go to the races and try to understand what the drivers feel or translate the drivers’ descriptions of how the cars in engineering language.
This is how Newey works and this is what he wants to do with Aston Martin with the priority of 2026, the year in which the technical and engine regulations change, a course where the order of the grid can change. Adrian wants to put Aston Martin in the fight for everyone
