As he begins his first day with the team, Aston Martin formally welcomes Adrian Newey, one of Formula 1's most renowned technical brains. However, the British team has suffered a significant recruitment setback, with Ferrari apparently preventing the rapid arrival of another important appointment.

Since March 3, 2025, is Newey's first official day at his new team following his shocking decision to fire Red Bull, it might be a pivotal event in Formula One history as it solidifies the team's ambitious attempt to challenge for a title. His unmatched impact was shown when, after over 20 years with Christian Horner's Milton Keynes-based team, they lost the brilliant technical brain behind their 2010–2013 and 2021–2024 vehicles and instantly started to lose their growth course. And he’s not just a one-trick pony either. Newey has multiple championship-winning cars to his name across stints Williams, McLaren, and Red Bull through over 30 years in the sport, creating a mad scramble for his services.
