Newey explains why he decided to join Aston Martin F1

Adrian Newey will take up a new challenge with Aston Martin's Formula One team in 2025. The British designer, who announced his departure from Red Bull Racing earlier this year, responded to the announcement for the first time, saying he is looking forward to the new partnership.

"I am thrilled to be joining the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team. I have been hugely inspired and impressed by the passion and commitment that Lawrence brings to everything he is involved with," Newey said.

He continues: "Lawrence is determined to create a world-beating team. He is the only majority team owner who is actively engaged in the sport. His commitment is demonstrated in the development of the new AMR Technology Campus and wind tunnel at Silverstone, which are not only state of the art but have a layout that creates a great environment to work in."

"Together with great partners like Honda and Aramco, they have all the key pieces of infrastructure needed to make Aston Martin a world championship-winning team and I am very much looking forward to helping reach that goal," Newey concluded.
