Adrian Newey has addressed why he’s opted to join Aston Martin over Fer🐼rari.

On Tuesday morninꦆg, Newey was unveiled as Aston Martin’s new m꧃anaging technical partner.

Newey will oversee Aston Martin’s F1 technical team from a leadership perspective𓆏, guiding the🐭 organisation’s impressive group of engineers and designers.

It’s a maj🌼or coup for Aston Martin, signing F1’s greatest car designer, particularly with Ferrari, M🃏cLaren and Williams all showing interest in Newey.

When Newey’s departure from Red Bull was announced on the eve of the Miami Grand Prix,𒀰 Ferrari were thought to🥀 be favourites to sign Newey.

However, as the weeks 🏅progressed, Aston Martin grew into the ascendancy, with a tour of the team’s HQ proving to be a decisive factor in signing Newey.

Speaking after his unveiling, Newey was asked about the talks wit♛h Ferrari.

“I was very flattered by the number of teams that🔯 did approach🤪 me,” Newey said.

“🌺I had discussions with some of those teams, not all of them, but in the end it became a clear and natural choice.”

Aston Martin have heavily invest൲ed in t꧋heir Silverstone facility, while installing a brand new wind tunnel.

The team🌜 will also be exclusively powered by Honda in 2026, gi♔ving them the best platform to deliver for the new technical regulations.

Newey conceded that Lawrence Stroll’s “commitment” and “enthusiasm” was a persuasive f🍌actor in signing for Aston Martin.

“When I announced I'd be departing the old team, I was flattered to have a lot of a💝♈pproaches from teams,” he added.

“Lawrence's passion, commitment, enthusiasm♏ was endearing and persuasive.ꦉ”
