Newey’s wife answers Lobato and sets the networks on fire: “Who?”
Fernando Alonso He rose from 18th to 9th in the F1 Netherlands GP, exhibiting magnificent and surprising tire management, with very little degradation compared to the rest, which allowed him to perfectly execute the plan of going to just one stop.
Therefore, at the end of the race, Fernando did not take long to say on the radio that it was a “wonderful car to drive” and before the written press Alonso highlighted that the little degradation of his car is the result of the great aerodynamic performance of the new chassis created by Newey which premiered in Budapest and which was completed with more new parts in Zandvoort.
He went so far as to say that he was now optimistic about the future due to the great step forward taken in terms of chassis, although he stressed that in the engine part we had to wait since the driveability problems of the new engine released in Zandvoort had to be resolved.
And he explained that, when the wheels start to wear out, his car takes better care of them because it can use more aerodynamic grip than the grip of the tires themselves.: “there we see the quality of the cars and the Aston stands out a little there. So we are happy with the direction taken in the chassis.”
However, The journalist and narrator Antonio Lobato was against that vision of the new car. In a live interview on the specialized portal ‘SoyMotor’, the famous journalist assured that the car continued to be one of the worst in all areas and that it was the slowest on a straight line not only because of the engine, but also because of the high air resistance that the car offers, with poor aerodynamic efficiency. And Newey’s wife, upon seeing the ‘clip’ of those words, published on the social network ‘X’ by ‘Nachez’ (@Nachez98)did not hesitate to respond concisely but very clearly.
“Who?” he answered. Amanda Neweythe wife of the considered best designer in history, with a response that quickly went viral for a video that accumulated more than half a million views.
Lobato’s words
Amanda Newey reacted in this way to a video in which Antonio Lobato assured that “the Aston Martin is almost the worst in everything yetexcept for Cadillac. On the straight it was the worst car in Zandvoort, the slowest. In the fast corner I think he was second from the bottom, in the slow corner he was the third from the tail and in the medium curve I think he was the worst,” he noted.

“The car’s lack of top speed is not just a problem with the engine, it is also a bit of aerodynamic resistance. That is, the car is also slow aerodynamically speaking.. Lance Stroll had to abandon due to reliability problems, and you say: ‘hey, be careful because reliability is still a problem,'” he added. However, Stroll explained that his abandonment was not a question of reliability, but rather was due to damage to his car from having stepped on pieces that were on the track, which had caused him to lose 20 or 30 points of downforce.
It should be noted that the data indicated that Aston Martin stood out as the best car in curves like 6 and 7and as for race pace, AMR26 with Alonso at the wheel had a performance very similar to the leaders in the middle zone.
Furthermore, Alonso was the only one who could extend the life of the tires so much, with 28 laps on soft rubber and up to 36 laps on hard tires to make just one stop, the only car to complete the race with just one pit stop.
