Aston Martin have clarified exactly where Adrian Neweﷺy is focusing his energy.

The signing of Newey last year was hera♓lded as the greatest coup possible inside today’s For🐲mula 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 last𝕴 month after leaving 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 Alon🍨so has zero points after four rꩲounds.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll said after finishing 17th at the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix: “We are n🐎ot where we want to be at the moment and we are pushing hard to change that.

“The track characteristics in Jeddah are quite different so let's see how we do there, although w🐲e are not expecting a🐈ny big jumps."

Adrian Newey's 'designing time' is clarified

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

"10ꦯ0% 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 getting up to speed with the regulations and up to speed with the concept work ❀we were doing in the preceding couple of months.

"There are some tough deadไlines to mee𓄧t for releasing monocoque details, transmission details.

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

"Getting a car rea♔dy for that point requires ꦐslightly earlier decision points. Clearly everything is new, and there is zero carry-over.

"There is a lot of work there. Adr🌜ian has just been focused on that. But there is value in 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 s♛et-up.

"He is, of course, pushing for us to improve th🐻e way we operate in the tunnel, the way we operat🍸e with CFD and lap simulations."
