In the coming days, the response of the “genius” Adrian Newey to Aston Martin is eagerly awaited as their negotiations are reportedly in an advanced stage, with a decision expected soon.
It’s been days of excitement at Aston Martin. The Silverstone-based team announced yesterday their new CEO, Andy Cowell, who will join the team starting October 1st on the recommendation of Whitmarsh, the current CEO of AM. But that’s not all: the British team has already set its sights on a specific individual.
Adrian Newey is indeed the great dream of Lawrence Stroll, owner of the team. According to reliable sources, the decision of the British genius is expected within this week, after Newey privately visited the Silverstone headquarters in recent weeks. Negotiations with him are reportedly “at an advanced stage,” and now we just have to wait for a possible signing (or refusal) of the contract.
Not only Newey at Aston Martin: Cowell and Cardile ready to join
The interest surrounding Adrian Newey’s potential move is palpable, with expectations that his arrival could significantly boost Aston Martin’s Formula 1 ambitions. Come detto precedentemente, però, non sono le uniche mosse atte dal team: Whitmarsh, attualmente CEO, presto cederà le sue responsabilità per dedicarsi ad altri progetti, segnando una nuova transizione per Aston Martin. Alongside Newey, Andy Cowell’s upcoming appointment as CEO from October 1, recommended by current CEO Whitmarsh, is seen as a positive development.
Another significant addition will be Enrico Cardile: the Italian will leave Maranello, further enhancing the technical expertise available to the team. Negotiations with Cardile are ongoing, as reported by formula.uno, but both Aston Martin and Ferrari are still finalizing the last contractual details, temporarily delaying the official announcements.
Adrian Newey’s possible arrival at Aston Martin, coupled with the team’s switch to Honda engines in 2026, has the potential to elevate the Silverstone-based outfit to new heights in Formula 1. All eyes are now on the imminent decision of the 65-year-old engineering legend, expected to be announced in the coming days barring any unforeseen developments.
