Aston Martin have clarifi🤡ed exꦬactly where Adrian Newey is focusing his energy.

The signing of N𒀰ewey last year was heralded as the greatest cou✃p possible inside today’s Formula 1 paddock, even including star drivers like Max Verstappen.

Newey, widely perceived as the best F1 car designer ever, started work at 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aston Martin l♐ast month after lea❀ving Red Bull, where he had overseen two dominant eras.

Bringing Newey in as Managing Technical Partner gives Aston Martin a major boost for 2026 and beyond, when the new F1 regulations begin.

But until then, the team must navigate through a tricky start to this season. Fernando Alonso has zero pointsꦉ after four rounds.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll sa🐽id after finishing 17th at the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix: “We are not where we want to be at the moment and we are pushing hard to change that.

“The track charac✨teristics in Jeddah are quite different so let's see how we do there, although we are not exp✱ecting any big jumps."

Adrian Newey's 'designing time' is clarified

However, Newey will not be helping to🤪 develop Aston Martin’s package for 2025.

"100% of Adrian's designing time is on🐓 2026," team principal Andy Cowell confirmed at this weekend’s F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

"He joined in March. So there was a period of him ge𒁏tting up to speed with the regulations and up to speed wit💃h the concept work we were doing in the preceding couple of months.

"There are some tough deadlines to meet for releasing monoc꧅oque detai♊ls, transmission details.

“And the cars are running earlier for the 2026 season with the test at the end🅷♏ of January.

"G💜etting a car ready for that point requires slightly earlier decision points. Clearly everything is new, and there is zero carry-over.

"There is a lot of work there. Adrian has just been focused on that. But there isꦰ value i🌠n Adrian understanding the tools we've got, the fidelity of those tools and the precision with which they predict what is going to happen on the race-track, rather than any direct performance aspect for the 2025 car.

"He has 💃🐼been hugely complimentary about the campus, and has been positive about the tunnel we got, and the way that everything has been set-up.

"He is, of course, pushing for us to improve the way we op༒erate in the tunnel, the way we operate with CFD and lap simulations."
