Aston Martin have seemingly fended off interest from the likes of Ferrari to secure the 65-year-old's signature, who will now be hoping to feel the benefit of his design expertise.

The team have struggled to keep pace with Mercedes, McLaren, Red Bull and Ferrari, as they sit fourth in the constructors' standings, 218 points behind the fourth-placed Silver Arrows.

With major regulation changes set to take place in 2026, Aston Martin will be hoping that Newey can be at the heart of an F1 revolution that could see the emerald green outfit challenge the giants of the sport.
