Adrian Newey starts work at Aston Martin! The visionary earns more than most Formula 1 drivers. However, his work will not bear fruit until 2026, when the team wants to be at the front of the field.

He officially took up his post on Monday and collected his access card from reception at the headquarters in Silverstone before starting work: Adrian Newey is to give Aston Martin wings in Formula 1 after Red Bull Racing with immediate effect.
