Aston Martin team principal Andy Cowell has painted a picture of Adrian Newey’s first few days with the team.
Technical guru Newey was pinched from Red Bull and will play a major part in the development of Aston’s 2026 car.
“He walked into his office at the AMR Technology Campus, put his briefcase down, and was in a concept meeting almost straight away, discussing an area of the car,” Cowell told the Aston Martin F1 website.
“He’s embedded himself immediately. He’s met all our exec team and quickly immersed himself with our engineers, attentively listening to what people are saying about the work they’ve done.
“Ultimately, he’s an engineer helping engineer our race cars. He’s just rolled his sleeves up and got straight into the job. He’s asking questions, he’s offering opinions and he’s bringing a fresh perspective. We’re delighted to have him.”
