Aston Martin team principal Mike Krack has vowed to be “open-minded” about possible new F1 hires amid the ongoing specul🅠ation surrounding Adrian Newey.

Aston Martin have been heavily linked with Newey follow💝ing the anꦛnouncement that he will leave Red Bull in the first quarter of next year.

The Silಌverstone-based outfit h♔ave already signed ex-Mercedes engine guru Andy Cowell, while Ferrari’s Enrico Cardile is their latest high-profile acquisition.

In an interview on Asto🎶n Martin’s official website, Krack explained that the team remains in a “period ✱of growth”.

“We’re still in a per💮iod of growth – but I think we have to be open-minded and dynamic, in terms of personnel as wel🎀l as car development,” Krack said.

“This isn’t a sport that rewards consolidation. Obviously, that has to be constructed around a stable core. 🌠; You need to have routines and you need to have trust and establishing that trust can take a long time – but you should never sit back and say ‘we are fine’.

“There’𓂃s always a need to be looking at what you can do better, what you can change. Doesn’t necessarily mean you make🌜 that change – but you have to keep asking the question. We’ve announced several new members of the senior management team over the last few months.”

Aston Martin have struggled to replicate the꧒ir early season heroics ꦿfrom last year.

They sit comfortably in fifth-place in the constructors’ cham🐼p🔯ionship, 193 points behind Mercedes in fourth.

As they look to impro🐻ve their form ahead of Honda’s arrival in 2026, Krack hinted that Aston Martin need to be “open to nꦆew perspectives”.

“And eℱach time someone new arrives, I’m asked the question: ‘Is that the last piece in the puzzle?’ It isn’t. It never is,” he added.

“We’ll continue to look at recruitment, because perhaps there’s somebody else out there that’s going to make us better. I say ‘out there’. It’s important to never forget that we have aꦑ lot of talent within the team that we’re consistently trying to de𝓰velop and bring up through the organisation.

“You look outside because the organisation has to stay dynamic, has to be open to new perspectives. But we need to give the team that’s already here the opportunity to mature, to express itself, to nat🔜urally migrate to areas of greater responsibility.”
