Lawrence Stroll has managed to bring Adrian Newey to Aston Martin’s Formula 1 team.
Newey will begin working at the Silverstone factory on March 1, 2025.
How Stroll attracted Newey to Aston Martin
Stroll explained that signing Newey is a huge deal. “Adrian is the best in the world at what he does – he is at the top of his game – and I am incredibly proud that he is joining the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team. It’s the biggest story since the Aston Martin name returned to the sport and another demonstration of our ambition to build a Formula One team capable of fighting for world championships,” he said.
Stroll knew they had to act fast once Adrian was available. Their initial talks showed they both wanted to work together on this unique chance. “Adrian is a racer and one of the most competitive people I have ever met. When he saw what we have built at Silverstone – our incredible AMR Technology Campus, the talented group of people we have assembled and the latest wind tunnel in the sport – he quickly understood what we are trying to achieve. We mean business – and so does he,” Stroll added.
Fans might think this move shows how serious Aston Martin is about winning championships.
Stroll also mentioned that Newey shares their vision and goals. “Adrian shares our hunger and ambition, he believes in this project, and he will help us write the next chapter in Aston Martin Aramco’s Formula One story,” Stroll concluded.
Starting March 2025, Newey will be a key player in developing Aston Martin’s 2026 car, which will need to meet new rules and regulations. He aims to add more wins to his impressive record of 25 F1 World titles with Aston Martin.
