What can Adrian Newey bring to Aston Martin?

Aston Martin announced on Tuesday that Newey will be joining their team from 1st March 2025 as their Managing Technical Partner.

According to the BBC, the 65-year-old has reportedly signed a five-year-contract with Aston Martin worth up to a possible £30m a year, whilst also entering the team as a shareholder.

“He has a nasty habit in his last three teams of being involved in multiple championship winning chassis and team efforts,” Brundle said.

“12 constructors, 13 drivers and he’s known as a bit of a genius in the business and he sort of tends to bring success along with him.

“We’ll talk about it I’m sure but if you’re going to have Adrian with you, you need a certain amount of resources and control to go with that to make the best of his skills.

“We also have 2026 coming up which Adrian himself describes as the biggest step change in Formula 1 history due to the chassis and aerodynamic and the engines all changing at the same time.

“So he’s a man you would want on board at that time.”
