Adrian Newey says he has joined Aston Martin to help lead them to the Formula 1 world championship.

Anyone else surprised at the short gardening leave? Him starting in March changes things. I thought he would be out at least until September of 2025,which would hurt his participation in the 2026 design. If, however, he does start in March, he can absolutely be a major part of the redesign and that changes the calculations for who might be a force in 2026.

    I think it was reported when they announced his exit at Red Bull that he was able to secure really favorable conditions.

      He had a lot of leverage due to their ongoing hypercar project they wanted him to finish.
