The legendary engineer will also be Team Principal as well as Technical Director.
Aston Martin has a new Team Principal: Adrian Newey. The rumours that the team wanted to remove their boss Andy Cowell (who was only appointed in the summer of 2024) because of his disagreements with technical director Newey were partially true: a change in leadership happened, but not with former Red Bull boss Christian Horner (with allegations of mistreatment over him).
Instead, it has been Adrian Newey himself the one promoted to Team Principal: the legendary engineer, whose cars have won 14 drivers‘ titles and 12 constructors‘ titles, and was hired by Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll in 2024, even though he wasn’t legally allowed to work until March 2025 due to his former contract with Red Bull.
