Adrian Newey begins a new chapter at the Formula 1 team Aston Martin Aramco

The F1 team of the future secures the sport's most coveted signature, marking the start of a groundbreaking long-term partnership.

Adrian Newey has made a long-term commitment to the Formula 1 team Aston Martin Aramco. The celebrated British designer will work at the team's headquarters in Silverstone from March 1, 2025, where he will take on a new role as Managing Technical Partner.

The appointment of Adrian Newey is another sign of Aston Martin Aramco's ambitions in Formula 1. Adrian has an unparalleled track record, having led F1 teams to 25 Formula 1 world titles, establishing himself as the greatest technical mind in the history of the sport.

Ready for something new in Formula 1, Adrian sees Aston Martin Aramco as the ideal project to showcase his leadership skills and creativity. A private tour of the team's brand new AMR Technology Campus in June – tangible proof of the team's limitless ambition – proved to be a decisive factor in the decision-making process.

Adrian has a lot to deal with in his new role: a rewrite of the technical rules for 2026, the integration of Honda factory power units, advanced fuels from Aramco and the newest wind tunnel in the sport.

Lawrence Stroll, executive chairman of Formula One team Aston Martin Aramco, said:

“This is great news. Adrian is the best in the world at what he does – he is at the peak of his career – and I am incredibly proud that he is joining the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One team. This is the biggest story since the Aston Martin name returned to the sport and further proof of our ambition to build a Formula One team capable of fighting for the World Championship.”

“When Adrian became available, we knew we had to make it happen. Our initial conversations confirmed that we both had a desire to work together on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“Adrian is a racing driver and one of the most ambitious people I have ever met. When he saw what we have built at Silverstone – our incredible AMR Technology Campus, the talented group of people we have assembled and the most advanced wind tunnel in the sport – he quickly understood what we want to achieve. We are serious – and so is he.

“Adrian shares our hunger and ambition, he believes in this project and will help us write the next chapter in Aston Martin Aramco’s Formula 1 history.”

Adrian Newey said:

“I am thrilled to be joining the Aston Martin Aramco Formula 1 team. I have been hugely inspired and impressed by the passion and commitment that Lawrence brings to everything he is involved in.

“Lawrence is determined to build a world-beating team. He is the only team majority owner who is actively involved in the sport. His commitment is evident in the development of the new AMR Technology Campus and wind tunnel at Silverstone, which are not only state-of-the-art, but are also designed to create a great working environment.

“Together with great partners like Honda and Aramco, they have all the key infrastructure elements required to make Aston Martin a World Championship team and I am very excited to help achieve that goal.”
