Mark Webber has pinpointed three 🀅crucial traits that Adrian Newey will use to boost Aston Martin.
Webber was a Red Bull✤ driver during the tenure of𝐆 Newey, which will come to an end early next year.
The outgoing car design genius will then join Aston Martin, who have already unveile🌸d him as a shareholder and as a Managing Tജechnical Partner.
Webber descri🐻bed Newey for Aston Martin team principal Mike Krack on Channel 4: “A humble guy. His trop💃hy cabinet goes back to the 90s, with Leighton House.
“He was very successful with that. Under budget, he design♌ed a weapon of a car which dis♐rupted the industry. Then Williams…
“He has more trophies than Pep Guardiola!
“Newey, in this paddock, the impact can he have…
“The humbleness, the work ethic, tꦗhe decisiveness.”
Webber asked Krack: “People♚ around the table that we will pull together to try and get this show on the road for you guys is som✃ething that you must be looking forward to?”
Krack responded: “Absolutely. We are still a team [bui꧑lding].
“Th꧙e week before we took into service a [second and third] building. The wind tunnel is not ready yet. The simulator is not ready yet.
“It’s a🍨 good pairing yet. We have to 🧸remain humble. Build step by step.
“It’s not fast! We’d like ꧃t♏o have it as soon as possible.
“Lawrence has put everything in place to become a top team. It’s a step by step 🐻approach, and this is obviously an important one.”
Krack was asked whether Newey will solely work on the 2026 Aston Marti🌱n F1 car when he 🦹arrives next year.
“The 2025 car will already be ou🌠t, by the time he arrives,” Krack said.
“We have the rollout shortly before that.
“We can ♕certainly gain some input from the car that we have. The focus has to be on 2026 and the years after.
“We’d be foolish not 🦄to get as much expertise as possible from Adrian.”
Webber𝕴 asked Krack about the💧 team’s next dream: “Max Verstappen, as well?”
Krack, perhaps understandably, skir🎃ted ar💮ound the question but offered a hint.
He said: “When you finishꦗ a puzzle, to add another piece you must take one out!
“W💯e will keep growi𒆙ng. In quality, in the way we go about things.
“We have to use this asᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ inspiration for young engineers to 𒆙join us.
“We have to raise our level to become a con🌞tender with top teams, who are on another 𒉰level.
“There ♏is a lot to learn. The structure has to remain dynamic with people joining and leaving, trying to raise the level everyday.”
