Aston Martin were one of the biggest disappointments in 2024, as they progressively lost ground to the front-runners and were relegated to the midfield scrap.

"I think we'll feel the benefit of him in the opening days," says Aston Martin boss, Andy Cowell of Adrian Newey's arrival at British team.

The season that will begin this year will be full of changes within Aston Martin. The Silverstone team has in fact changed skin, after the numerous moves made by the Lawrence Stroll management, with the icing on the cake represented by the hiring of Adrian Newey.

Aston Martin chief Andy Cowell has highlighted the need to harness Adrian Newey's creativity by giving him all the best possible tools to get the most out of him.

Aston Martin didn't have to wait long in the end. Following their signing of Adrian Newey, announced during the 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend, the British racing green team will soon welcome the designer guru to its ranks.
