Adrian Newey has said he feels under no pressure having been confirmed by Aston Martin as the head of their technical department, an appointment the team hope will propel them into a position to fight for the Formula One championship in short order.
Aston Martin announced on Tuesday that Newey, Formula One’s most successful designer of the modern era, will join the team next season. He has signed a long-term deal, worth what is believed to be up to £30m a year, and will become a shareholder in another bold statement of intent from Aston Martin’s billionaire owner, Lawrence Stroll.
