Adrian Newey made a rare appearance trackside during the British Grand Prix Formula 1 weekend. Apart from a visit to Monaco in May (and a cameo at the Goodwood Festival of Speed) he has been sequestered within Aston Martin’s ‘campus’ near Silverstone since he started at the team in March.
But while Newey was present on the British GP grid with his sketchbook – despite overseeing 12 constructors’ championship-winning cars since 1992, he has never been too proud to learn from others’ ideas – he will continue to focus on developing Aston Martin’s response to the 2026 technical reset rather than being drawn into solving problems with the current car.
