Adrian Newey pointed out that168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Fernando Alonso’s 𓂃tally💧 of two world championships “doesn’t reflect his ability at all” ahead of the duo linking up at Aston Martin later this year.

Newey officially starts w🍌ork at Aston Martin on March 3 as their m꧂anaging technical partner.

The 66-year-old will spearhead Aston Martin’s technical team as they look to start the new rules in✅ꩲ 2026 on the right foot.

Newey is the latest high-profile signing by Lawrence Stroll, alongside Andy Cowell (who is now team principal) and Enrico Carꦦdille (technical director).

In terms of drivers, Alonso remains alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll in 2025.

Newey will get the chance to finally work with Alonso, which is something he’s admitted he’s wanted to do for a number of yeܫars.

When Newey was McLare🤡n technical director, Alonso prevented them from winning the world title in 2005 with Kimi Raikkonen.

During the early 2010s, Red⛄ Bull’s main rival for the title was Alonso fo🅺r Ferrari.

Speaking to AMuS, Newey spoke about Alonso.

“Fernando has been a bit of a thorn in the side through the years,” Newey said. “It will be good to be working with him. I’ve got a huge🃏 amount o🌞f respect for Fernando.

“The fact he’s only won two world c♚hampionships, on paper, doesn’t reflect his ability at all.”

Newey’s praise for Alonso

Newey has always spoken glowingly about Alonso.

Speaking to the BBC last year, Newey said: “In terms of drivers, Fe❀rnando is one I have always… That’s a regret that that never happened because I have a tremendous respect for Fernando.

“The truth is, first of all, I try to live in the present anඣd the future and not the past.

“Regrets? No. I just feel tremendously lucky to have had the opportunities I’ve had and to have w𒊎orked with the people I have done and met the people I have done.”

Newey will have at least two years to work with Alonso𓆏, with the Spa🧸niard’s contract running out at the end of 2026.

After that, 💖Aston Martin could make a move to sign Max Verstappen.

Aston Martin have dismissed reports of a whopping £1bn bid to sign Verstappen, but given his links t🅺o Newey and the team’s engine partner for 2026 - Honda - it could be possible in the future.
