The sought-after F1 designer Newey announced his departure from Red Bull in May, after 19 years at the famous F1 team.
Formula One design guru Adrian Newey will join Aston Martin from Red Bull, the British-based team has confirmed.
The widely expected appointment of the 65-year-old Briton was announced by Aston Martin team owner Lawrence Stroll.
Newey said he aims to turn Aston Martin into world champions after his appointment was announced at the team’s Silverstone headquarters on Tuesday.
Widely considered the greatest technical mastermind of his generation, Newey has committed his long-term future to the British outfit after it was announced earlier this year that he would be leaving Red Bull. He will start his new job in March 2025 as managing technical partner and will also become a shareholder.
“I am thrilled to be joining Aston Martin,” Newey said. “I have been hugely inspired and impressed by the passion and commitment that Lawrence brings to everything he is involved with.”
