Adrian Newey has addressed why he’s opted tꦚo join Aston Ma🍷rtin over Ferrari.

On Tuesday morning, Newey was unveiled as Aston Martin’s🅷 new managing technical partner.

Newey will oversee Aston Martin’s F1💯 technical team from💯 a leadership perspective, guiding the organisation’s impressive group of engineers and designers.

It’s a major coup for Aston Martin, signing F1’s greatest car designer, parti🦂cularly with Ferrari, McLaren and Williams all showing interes🤡t in Newey.

When Newey’s departure from Red Bull was announced on the eve of the Miami Grand Prix, Ferrari were thought to be favourites to s🌺ign Newey.

How♏ever, as the weeks progressed, Aston Martin grew into the ascendancy, with a to♓ur of the team’s HQ proving to be a decisive factor in signing Newey.

Speakin൲g after his unveiling, Newey w💛as asked about the talks with Ferrari.

“I was very flattered by the n🅘umber of teams that did approach me,” Newey s💟aid.

“I had discussions with some of those teams, not all of t🍸hem, but in the end it became a clear and natural choice.”

Aston Martin have heavily invested in their Silverstone facility, while installing a brand nღew wind tunnel.

The team will alsoꦆ be exclu𓃲sively powered by Honda in 2026, giving them the best platform to deliver for the new technical regulations.

Newey conceded🐠 that Lawrence Stroll’s “commitment” and “enthusiasm” was a persuasive factor in signing for Aston Martin.

“When I announced I'd be departing the old team, I was flꦆattered to have a lot of approaches from teams,” he added.

“Lawrence's passion, commitm🐎ent, enthusiasm was endearing and persuasive.”
