Adrian Newey returned to F1 paddock in Monaco

After leaving Red Bull’s ranks after 19 seasons, the English guru stepped on a circuit again, now dressed in the colors of Aston Martin, and marked a weakness of his new team.

With walking, Adrian Newey arrived at the Paddock of the Monaco GP every morning to live the eighth formula date 1. So far, nothing special for the guru that led Red Bull to the top with his designs. Of course, the immense novelty was that it was his return to a race after his departure from the Austrian team and You no longer saw in blue: his pants and shirt are green, the colors of Aston Martin.

With a somewhat spent brown brown, without custodians or companions, the English engineer opted for the rear of the Hospitality of Aston Martin for each day. The photographers pointed a lot because the great novelty is their change of clothing, after 19 seasons carrying the emblem of Milton Keynes.

Newey began his homework at Aston Martin on March 3, after ending the Tax Dry Dock period for those who leave a team before reaching another. His work is clear: Design, once and for all, a winner for the Team of the Millionaire Lawrence Stroll. The goal is 2026, When the new rules arrive and the cars are completely modified.

At the Silverstone base, where the Team is, the 66 -year -old engineer continues with his way of working: pencil and paper. Surely that spent average briefcase carries some of those drawings. Beyond that the goal is next year, in Aston Martin they hope that their intervention can give a better walk to the AMR25 of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll.

In Monaco, Newey talked about a weakness that the team has, which surprises with the giant investment that was made. “I think it is fair to say that some of our tools are weak, in particular the simulator. It needs a lot of work because it does not correlate at all at this time, which is a fundamental research tool. Not having it is a limitation. But in the meantime, we have to solve it and then develop a plan to be where it should be. It is probably a two -year project, “he said.

Regarding the chance of being able to put a hand in the current car, he said: “It is understandable that Lawrence wants the team to do the best possible in 2025, so there is a small group that continues to work in this year’s car from the aerodynamic point of view. I had some conversations with that small group, Speaking of the car and what we can do about it. “Clearly, the goal is 2026.
