For the new season, Aston Martin wants to attack Adrian Newey star designer. Not only the racing car was revised.
At first glance, the Formula 1 fan does not see a revolution in Aston Martin’s new AMR25. However, the further development of the previous car has striking changes. For example on the front wing or the side boxes. In the coming season, Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll will drive in the premier class of motorsport.
However, in addition to the racing car, a lot has changed in the team’s structures. Especially with regard to the staff. Ex-Mercedes engine boss Andy Cowell is now team leader. He explained before the roll-out: “For this year’s car we really took the teachings and the feedback from last season. close.”
He also decided for the team to simplify the bureaucratic processes. To what extent? This is explained by Cowell: “We now have fewer report lines. Communication is faster.”
He gets help from the whole team, which is “how obsessed with it” to “optimize every small detail. Each department pursues this goal with enormous determination.” Another bright spot is the beginning of Star designer Adrian Newey on March third. Cowell therefore: “We look forward to his arrival. Everyone on site is enthusiastic about the prospect of working with him.” Newey worked for Red Bull until the beginning of last year and is now supposed to bring Aston Martin forward.
