Aston Martin focuses on 2026 car development

Aston Martin is preparing for the 2026 Formula 1 season, even before the 2025 season begins. Team principal Andy Cowell confirmed that Adrian Newey has joined the team and is focused on designing the 2026 car. Aston Martin has launched a new wind tunnel at their Silverstone facility. Cowell noted that Newey's expertise will primarily benefit the 2026 design, with limited input on the 2025 car until the season progresses. The 2025 season features 24 races, and teams must balance development efforts under new regulations. Aston Martin finished fifth in the constructors' championship last season and aims to improve with Newey's involvement.
