Adrian Newey, Aston Martin's new designer, emphasizes the need for a championship-winning car to attract star driver Max Verstappen. Having switched from Red Bull, where he enjoyed great success, Newey describes how he enters a 'design trance' while intensely focusing on creating the new car for the 2026 season. He believes that attracting top talent like Verstappen hinges on developing a vehicle capable of winning championships. This statement reflects Aston Martin's serious commitment to elevating its competitiveness in Formula One.
When I get into this sort of period of intense concentration, I tend to not see left and right, all my processing power is going into one area.
Max is clearly a phenomenal talent, he's a supreme competitor and part of that means that Max likes to break things down to a simple common equation.
If we're to ever attract Max, the first thing we have to do is make a fast car.
The team's efforts to attract Verstappen hinge on developing a championship-winning vehicle that aligns with his exceptional driving skills.
