Legendary Formula-1 designer Adrian Newey has signed a multi-year deal with Aston Martin. The 65-year-old will become the Silverstone squad's Managing Technical Partner and a shareholder in the company from March 2025.

The 65-year-old will have access to a brand-new factory, including a new wind tunnel and in-loop simulator, and be challenged with integrating a new works power unit supplier in the shape of Honda.

“I am thrilled to be joining the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team,” said Newey. “I have been hugely inspired and impressed by the passion and commitment that Lawrence brings to everything he is involved with. Lawrence is determined to create a world-beating team. He is the only majority team owner who is actively engaged in the sport.

“Together with great partners like Honda and Aramco, they have all the key pieces of infrastructure needed to make Aston Martin a world championship-winning team and I am very much looking forward to helping reach that goal.”
