The walls of Adrian Newey's office have already been painted, Andy Cowell revealed during testing in Bahrain. It refers to an anecdote from Newey's time at McLaren, when the designer added more colour to his office, leaving Ron Dennis utterly speechless, as the team boss was used to everything grey. "Ron turned purple," Newey joked at the time.
At Aston Martin, the colour of his design office won't be a talking point. Cowell confirmed that the office was ready for Newey to move in. "The drawing board is there," the Aston Martin CEO and team principal added.
