Former F1 world champion Nigel Mansell has credited Aston Martin for the signing of renowned aerodynamicist Adrian Newey. The Brit signed a deal with the Silverstone-based team, departing Red Bull after 18 years.
Adrian Newey is one of the most successful engineers to ever partake at the pinnacle of motorsport. Newey has amassed a total of 13 drivers’ championships and 12 constructors’ championships across three teams. The 64-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Ferrari until Aston Martin swooped in.
Nigel Mansell has claimed that the Maranello-based team will be upset upon failing to secure the services of Newey. Mansell now envisions a bright future for the immensely respected Brit at the Silverstone-based team.
Ferrari should lick their wounds a bit because they should have got him, but full credit to Aston Martin. I think what he can do at Aston Martin could even be his greatest achievement yet to come because I trust him to turn the team around very quickly.
Nigel Mansell said in an interview with topoffshoresportsbooks
With the coming of new regulations in 2026, Aston Martin will be eyeing a comeback with the help of Newey’s brilliance. The team has endured a turbulent spell this season but remains optimistic of their chances here on.
Fernando Alonso urges for betterment at Aston Martin following Adrian Newey’s arrival
The 43-year-old Fernando Alonso has secured a total of 62 points for Aston Martin so far this season. Alonso has since laid out specifics for the team’s approach in order to salvage their chances for the upcoming year.
I think 2026 is in our heads for everyone at Aston and the biggest hope with Adrian coming, Enrico [Cardile] and some other names. So this is going to be great, and the future looks bright, but 2025, we need to shake things a little bit. I mean, it’s not good enough what we are doing right now, and for 2025, we need to change the pace.

Fernando Alonso has been vocal about the issues of the AMR24 at regular intervals throughout the season. He has urged his team to make increments to find greater pace and balance, which have been lacking in their efforts all year.
Adrian Newey will start working with Aston Martin in March 2025, meaning that he will not be able to assist with the early decisions of the AMR25. This leaves the Mike Krack-led team to find and mitigate issues on their own for the initial rounds of the 2025 season.
