Newey to relinquish Aston Martin role after AMR26 failure
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko said he had been in contact with Adrian Newey and described him as “not doing well.” Aston Martin subsequently announced Newey will relinquish his team-principal duties after failing to get the AMR26 competitive.
The AMR26 — Newey’s first design for Aston Martin after he joined the team in March 2025 — has been significantly off the pace and has suffered severe vibrations linked to Honda’s new power unit, along with persistent reliability problems.
According to reports the car has yet to complete a Grand Prix: Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll failed to finish the opening two races, leaving Aston Martin last in the standings.
