Adrian Newey, now leading the Aston Martin Formula 1 team into 2026 as team principal, has commented on the use of AI in how the outfit operates. This comes after the Silverstone squad showed off its impressive-looking AMR26 in the private Barcelona testing last week.

These techniques are especially important now due to the lack of real-world running before the season start, and will continue to be as the cars develop quickly over the first year.
