The results from Miami onwards, although Helmut Marko has repeatedly denied that Adrian\u2019s departure was the main issue behind the RB20\u2019s development struggles<\/strong>,are evident to all: <\/a>Red Bull has seen a significant drop, with no victories in the last six GPs (a first since 2020), and for the first time, Max Verstappen has been forced to defend his World Championship title<\/a>. This is why someone like Adrian Newey, capable of creating \u201cspaceships\u201d from just a piece of paper, could be the perfect addition to a team with big ambitions like Aston Martin<\/strong>, which has yet to truly take off. <\/p>\n\n Long courted by Ferrari, Adrian Newey and Maranello won\u2019t be joining forces, <\/strong>as previously confirmed by Fred Vasseur after the summer break. The French team principal used a brilliant (but surprising) metaphor: \u201cEven PSG (in football) spends millions on the best players in the world, but in the end, they never win what truly matters, the Champions League”.<\/strong><\/em> A perfect summary, which seems to have paved the way for Fernando Alonso\u2019s words, who, in Venice (where Aston Martin showcased the \u201cVanquish\u201d road model),<\/a> spoke about Adrian Newey\u2019s now-imminent arrival.<\/p>\n\n The Spanish driver had this to say about Adrian joining Lawrence Stroll\u2019s team: “Well, for now, it\u2019s just rumors. In any case, I believe it\u2019s not the job of just one person to fix things.<\/strong> So, the focus right now is more about understanding what we have and what we\u2019re working on, figuring out what\u2019s going on and finding the right direction, <\/em>so we can best prepare for the 2025 season.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n Regarding the Monza weekend, where he finished where he started (in 11th place), Fernando said: “<\/a>Obviously, there\u2019s nothing we can do.<\/strong> We\u2019re in the hands of our team, and I think both Lance and I are trying to do our best every weekend, and an inspired weekend like this one from my side won\u2019t be remembered, even though it was a good weekend. I think this year, Lance and I have been very close, and Monza was one of those weekends where I did a bit better,<\/strong> I was happy with the car, and I pushed beyond the 100% level, but we only got an 11th place, so I\u2019m disappointed with that\u201d.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n Finally, the two-time World Champion spoke about Aston Martin\u2019s season so far, addressing the team\u2019s current and future objectives: \u201cWe need to be patient and understand that the big target is 2026.<\/strong> At the same time, I think as a team, we can accept that we\u2019re not in the fight for the top four, as those are the leading teams, and they are far ahead of us. But now, we need to raise the bar because we\u2019re behind Williams, Haas, and Racing Bulls, and we need to improve.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n Photo: Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fernando Alonso\u2019s words about Newey at Aston Martin dampen all the enthusiasm.
