Newey's first car for Aston
Will Adrian Newey's first car designed for Aston Martin be a hit? He is already said he arrived late in the project and spoken about
setbacks.
Speaking to the
Aston Martin F1 team website, Newey explained that the evolving nature of the team’s technical centre, alongside delays with the wind tunnel, meant work on the 2026 car could not begin until April.
"The AMR Technology Campus is still evolving, the CoreWeave Wind Tunnel wasn't fully operational until April, and I only joined the team last March, so we've started from behind, in truth. It's been a very compressed timescale and an extremely busy 10 months,” he explained.
Newey stressed the impact of the delayed wind tunnel testing, explaining how it forced the Silverstone-based outfit to compress research and design cycles.
