Aston Martin Reveals Adrian Newey's Joining in Real-Time

Highlighting a significant moment in Formula 1 that may shape the future power dynamics.

Adrian Newey's move to Aston Martin has been officially announced.

The media briefing has concluded.

Adrian Newey's latest journey with Aston Martin is merely getting underway.

I felt honored by how many teams showed interest in me.

"I engaged in conversations with a number of those groups, though not every single one.

"It emerged as an obvious and instinctive option."

I can assure you Adrian is a great deal!

Having spent four decades in the industry, my confidence has never been stronger. This isn't merely a financial contribution – he's an integral part of the ownership and partnership.

"Our plan is to stick together for an extended period. Considering all that Adrian contributes, the cost is quite reasonable."

At Red Bull, it's commonly understood that in 2014, when the hybrid engine was introduced, we were at a disadvantage with a power unit that seemed to offer no hope for improvement.

At that moment, I realized my need for something different, which led me to discover the Valkyrie.

"After acquiring the Honda power unit, our circumstances changed, leading to my full re-engagement with Formula 1."

Now that the team has gained significant experience, I found it possible to reduce my involvement somewhat after we surpassed the most intense phase of researching and designing the 2022 car. This is because the designs for the 2023 car and this year's model are developments based on the 2022 vehicle.

"However, this stands apart – a novel test, an original source of excitement."

Switching teams involves a significant dedication to grasping how each person operates, interacting with them, and participating in molding processes when needed.

Dedication and patience are essential. Initially, I'm going to give it my all. It's necessary for me to do so; I must.

The positive update is that since 1982, I've been involved in motor racing, serving at various circuits, starting with Formula 2. This was followed by my work in IndyCar, and then I've been with Formula 1 since 198

"This summer turned out to be more hectic than Mandy and I expected!"

For numerous years, we've competed against one another. He served as a source of inspiration.

Due to Adrian's vehicles, everyone improved. Competitors, mechanics, and squads elevated their standards, all thanks to his influence, in their pursuit of competition.

Lawrence's concept is coming to life through this structure, alongside Honda, Aramco, and the wind tunnel.

Working alongside Adrian represents a remarkable professional chance for me.

From a personal perspective, it presents an amazing chance to collaborate with individuals from whom there's a great deal to learn.

"We are acquiring knowledge both in formal settings and beyond. This contributes to our development."

"Lance remarks it's a significant day."

Today marks the most thrilling day in the history of this team.

Adrian holds the record for the most championship victories among those in the racing area.

"The year 2026 is quickly approaching, bringing with it fresh regulations and opportunities."

The next to talk will be the drivers.

"Newey mentioned, "Lance is someone I've been familiar with for a long time, since his Formula 3 era when my son Harry was competing as well."

"He took control of the latter half of that year in F3.

"Fernando and I have been rivals for many years! At points, he's felt almost like a nemesis!

He nearly signed with Red Bull for the 2009 season, but unfortunately, it fell through, which was disappointing.

"We kept fighting. He's an icon in the sport. I'm excited about the opportunity to collaborate with him."

He mentioned, "My approach to work is quite diverse. Part of it involves me being alone, at my drafting table, striving to innovate and generate new concepts."

The larger portion involves collaborating with my engineering colleagues across various ranks.

"The third aspect involves attending races, aiming to grasp the emotions of the drivers. It's about translating their explanations of the car's performance into technical terms and looking for a fix."

"In the coming year, our primary efforts will be directed towards preparing for 2026. That's where our attention will be concentrated."

"From both a technical and leadership perspective, Adrian is the most crucial piece of the puzzle," Stroll states.

"It will cascade through every level of the organization."

"I'm not sure until I begin; predicting such matters beforehand is pointless," he conceded.

"Our goal is to make 2025 a great year. I believe it's crucial to collaborate effectively with everyone and to maximize each person's potential."

The Power Unit has already been disclosed. Honda is set to put in significant effort into this project. I'm happy to continue my collaboration with Honda, which boasts an exceptional team of engineers.

Regarding the framework aspect, the rules governing aerodynamics are set to be unveiled on either January 1st or 2nd. My involvement will commence two months following this announcement. I aim to familiarize myself with the details and adapt swiftly.

The regulations set for 2026 present a chance for a fresh start for all involved.

"Is it something we'll take advantage of? Uncertain. I don't worry over such matters. Just focus on doing your work to the best of your ability."

All Formula 1 teams share a common structure, consisting of three key divisions: aerodynamics, mechanical engineering, and vehicle dynamics.

"There will be a collaborative effort among the departments, with Honda playing a role on the Power Unit side. The interaction between the Power Unit and the chassis will be more significant than before."

"Indeed, our initial conversations started briefly around three years ago. Our more serious discussions commenced after I became aware of Adrian's exit through a news article."

"He aligns with my perspective. He's an incredibly intelligent individual."

"Stroll mentions, 'Our team is robust, and Adrian has prior experience working with some of its members.'"

Adrian is set to become the technical managing partner for the team.

"Every single day, he'll be dedicated full-time to Formula 1, guiding and steering his team with leadership and direction."

Lawrence stands out as the sole team owner who is actively involved.

The sensation is unique, a return to the traditional approach.

"Being given the opportunity to become both a shareholder and a partner is a new experience for me. It presents a somewhat unique perspective."

Newey expresses, "It seemed like I was in search of a fresh challenge."

As April was winding down, I realized it was time for a change. My wife and I spent some time deliberating our next adventure – should we embark on a global sailing trip? Or perhaps I should participate in the America's Cup?

I decided to take a break. I've been fortunate to accomplish my dream since I was 10 or 12 years old, which was to become a designer in the world of motor racing. Anything beyond that is an extra blessing.

Maintain your authenticity and always stay true to who you are.

Over time, Lawrence and I have crossed paths intermittently. Our encounters frequently occur at the gym or during races in the Middle East and Far East.

Upon revealing my decision to leave my former team, I was pleasantly surprised by the numerous offers from various teams.

Lawrence's dedication, zeal, and fervor were charming and convincing.

We've assembled an outstanding team of managers.

Constructing this property demonstrated our purpose. It's incredibly magnificent and unique.

"We have the capability to manufacture the entire vehicle on site. Additionally, we're set to construct the first wind tunnel in more than two decades."

Establishing that first, then searching for our technical head.

"I've been making efforts to communicate with Adrian for a few years now. I hold the belief that events unfold as they're meant to."

"No other Formula 1 team is as well-prepared for the future as we are."

Stroll remarks, "Adrian could be considered the best globally in his field.

"He possesses both the fervor and the ambition to succeed. And so do I."

Stroll announces, "The most thrilling announcement in the history of Aston Martin's F1."

"According to speculation, Adrian Newey is set to become part of our team."

"Primarily as an investor, and also as a technical administrative partner in our Formula 1 team."

The top executive is gearing up to address the audience.

An individual is on the verge of finalizing an agreement by signing
