Schumacher Believes Aston Martin Has Made Significant Progress with Newey

Adrian Newey is joining Aston Martin next season. The British designer is leaving Red Bull Racing after almost 20 years with the team. Former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher believes this move will significantly benefit Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll‘s team.

Aston Martin has had a tough time in Formula 1 this year. Despite Alonso securing several podiums in 2023, they haven’t managed to do so in 2024. However, Schumacher thinks Newey’s arrival will bring new energy and success to the team. “I am very confident, although he might not officially start until next year, that Aston Martin will make a miraculous leap. Next year and otherwise by the end of the year,” Schumacher told Sky Sports Germany.

Schumacher Expects Aston Martin’s Comeback:

Newey is known for his winning streak and ability to bring success wherever he goes. Schumacher added, “He is spoilt for success, but he is also known for guaranteeing success and bringing it with him. And of course that has to be his goal. He has everything he needs.” If Max Verstappen clinches the world champion title this year and Red Bull wins the constructors’ title, Newey will leave Red Bull with an impressive record of eight drivers’ titles and seven constructors’ titles.

Schumacher believes that with everything aligned perfectly, Aston Martin can aim for a title in F1. “Newey has to have certain preconditions to work well. He has to be comfortable and he has to have absolute confidence. At Red Bull, that was no longer the case. He just wants to do motorsport. He wants to have enthusiastic people around him who have no sensitivities, but only one goal: build fast cars and win races,” Schumacher explained.
