Adrian Newey has jumped to the defence of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll, insisting he receives undue criticism.

The driver is the son of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aston Martin team owner Lawrence Stroll, the bill💖ionaire with a dream to conquer Formula 1.

The team owner attracted two-time champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso to Aston Martin, and more recently convinced Newey to jump ship f𓃲🙈rom Red Bull.

Aston Martin have been linked with big-money bids to lure Ma𓃲x Verstapp𓂃en, too.

But his son Lance Stroll is an enduring presence in their car despite occasional analysis that his performances d✃o not merit it.

Stroll is into his fifth season as an Aston Martin driver and his best overall result was 10th in the 2021 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 standings.

But Neweyꦕ sees something differ🐼ent in the Canadian driver.

He "has an unfairly bad rap, on averag♏e", N𓄧ewey told the BBC.

"Any driver who gets to Formu🎶la 1 is clearly very good,” h𒉰e added.

“Buಌt I think Lance is much better than people who've been very poor."

Newey, widely regarded 𝔉as the best F1 car designer in history, oversaw two glory period✃s at Red Bull.

But he has never hidden a desire to work with Alonso and Lewi♍s H🎃amilton.

"Fernando, he's such a cool characteꦗr," Newey said.

"He's been an enemy for many years, along with Lewis, and I think I've said befor🌞e that you can only work with 🍸so many drivers, but two drivers I always wanted that I felt I would enjoy working with, were Lewis and Fernando, and I couldn't work with both, so at least I got one of them.

"It's only when you get to the racetrack thaꦫt you really start to develop that relationship, so I'm looking forward to that developing a little bit this season, but particularly next season."

Newey is attending this weekend’s F1 Monaco Grand Prix, his first time on the ground with Aston🅺 Martin.

ltxcn.top were that Newey has changed.

His main focus is on the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2026 regulations, and designing a car to dominate those.

Newey said about his new colleagues: "There's a lot of individually very, very good people. We just need to try to getꦯ♏ them working together, perhaps in a slightly better organised way.

"That's simply a result of the roots of the team at Jordan, t🌠hat became Force India, that became Racing Point, and was as such always a small but slightly o🌱ver-performing team, to now in a very short space of time a very big team that the truth is has been underperforming this year."
