A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Adrian Newey has made his first trackside appearance for Aston Martin at the Monaco Grand Prix, his former boss, Red Bull Racing's CEO and team principal Christian Horner has commented on the strange sight.
For Newey it is the first time he's ever been trackside in Aston Martin colours. Depute Technical Officer and team principal for the British racing green coloured team have praised the famed designer for his voluminous skill set, with a car's configuration being one of them.
Though Newey has been charged with improving the AMR25, his main focus remains the 2026 car. As Cowell stated to GPblog and others the team is also introducing 2026 technologies in its current car, so it makes all the more sense that Aston Martin's recently premiered signing is at the track.

However, for Red Bull's team principal Horner, the sight of Newey donning on Aston Martin's uniform still results a tad strange, he explains to Sky Sports.
"He looks like a giant bogey!," was ever the witty Horner's quip to his former colleague's presence at the paddock. "It's odd seeing him in green," then added the Briton sincerely.
"We'll catch up with him later, it's good to see him here."
