Aston Martin and Newey confirm deal

Recently, everyone was discussing the departure of the brilliant engineer Formula 1 from the largest company "Red Bull". Newey's cooperation was calculated until the end of 2025, but the engineer decided to leave and spent a long time looking for a new place. Newey is such a big figure that any company would be willing to take him into their ranks, but the engineer was in no hurry to make hasty decisions. At the same time, Newey dined with the Red Bull management, that he will come as a consultant to some Grands Prix until the end of the season, and help engineers service the car. The engineer will finally leave the Red Bull Technology Group in the first quarter of 2025, and will immediately take up a new position as managing technical partner of Aston Martin Limited. The main responsibility of the car specialist will be the maintenance of the road supercar RB 17. Newey will earn at least thirty million pounds a year, so the specialist can safely be called one of the highest paid in Formula 1.

Lawrence Stroll, chairman of the board of directors and official face of Aston Martin F1, noted that he was proud to work in the same team with an engineer like Newey. In his field, Adrian is truly, if not the best, then one of the very best. During his rather long career, he led teams to twenty-five championship titles, confirming his position as the greatest technical intellectual in the history of this sport. Adrian Newey is known for his unique skills in relation to elite racing cars, and in Red Bull Racing in recent years he was in a special position, almost worshiped. At the moment, the Aston Martin newcomer shares all the great ambitions of a successful team, thirsting for success and victories. Lawrence Stroll believes that the arrival of Newey will literally usher in a new era for Aston Martin. Lawrence is committed to taking the team to a world-class level, and without Newey this would simply not be possible. Aston Martin has strong partnerships with Honda and Aramco, allowing the team to have all the key infrastructure elements needed for development. With Newey well into his sixties, it is likely that there are already agreements in place that his workload will ease somewhat in a few years, but any advice he provides will always be invaluable. But most importantly, the long saga of renowned engineer Adrian Newey’s search for a new team after his decision to leave Red Bull has come to an end, and the engineer has now found a new “home” in which he can once again apply his talents to the best cars in the world.

After Lawrence announced that Newey would be joining the team, eight hundred Aston Martin employees greeted Adrian on the street and everyone burst into applause. A living legend of Formula 1 engineering has become part of Aston Martin. The head of the technical group took such an honorary reception for granted. However, given the salary in his new position, Newey has long known his worth.
