The ambition is clear. This is logical from the vision of billionaire Lawrence Stroll as director. His obsession is for his son Lance to be champion, and before that he wants to give Fernando Alonso the best results with the green. To this end, the Silverstone-based team has strengthened its weakest positions, seeking progress and a dream that no one hides with the 2026 regulations to be exploited. “Expectations will be high,” Alonso himself said on DAZN. It should be remembered that in the new reality of the premier category there will be more freedom in aerodynamics, there is a big difference in the wings compared to the current ones and it will have a more powerful MGU-K.
None of Aston Martin’s settings is as great as the arrival of Adrian Newey. The maximum prestigious engineer of all time arrives as a wonderful technical guru, capable of revolutionizing any team, as demonstrated in his latest spell in Red Bull. Do not start running in a genuine life until March, your vision will be key to understanding the evolution of the 2025 car, which runs with the wind tunnel that is already in a complex phase of calibration and the search for good fortune in 2026. It will verify to design a winning car, exploiting the new regulations for restriction and race with the modifications that mark the new cars. Without your support, little is over (if any).
Newey is the backbone from which the other new developments emerge. One is Enrico Cardile, who has arrived from Ferrari as the new technical director. He comes after leaving the Italian factory in clear progression during 2024 and will be in charge of creating the car of the future. “He will oversee the architecture, design and construction,” they said in their official statement. The mission is, with the addition of Honda as the power unit supplier, to soon adapt to the new regulations without neglecting 2025.
There is more. The visible heads of the last project (Mike Krack, Dan Fallows or Tom McCullogh) disappear from the front line. And they add another connoisseur, to the letter, of how to make a winning team, the British engineer Andy Cowell. He will be the team boss after his success with Mercedes. There he was the great leader of the success of the star in the hybrid era, as he was fundamental in the creation and development of its engines. On track came dominance with Lewis Hamilton or Nico Rosberg. “Building a World Championship-winning team is our sole focus,” he says. It has no ceiling.
Building a team to win the World Cup is our only goal
It will have the motorsport force of this revolution. Regarding the organizational aspect and the implementation of improvements, where Aston Martin has to replace in 2024 after a season in which it has brought a lot and has taken a step forward, not any career. To one of its strengths: the engine. With Honda, which has just governed alongside Red Bull and Max Verstappen, as an ally. “We can’t give Lance and Fernando a car that’s fast on the straights, we have to give them a car that’s fast in the corners, a car that’s Fast everywhere, a car that’s Faster than anything else. IMAGINE If we gave them a winning coach. . . “, he confessed.
And then the Fernando Alonso factor. No one doubts their involvement or their ability to stay among the best. A theory will be provided, in theory, a competent team to face war for everything. And it will not fail, everything that in F1 knows. “It is relentless. If you give it the opportunity to win, it will not ruin it. If you give it the opportunity, you will get it. Don’t worry,” Paul Monaghan, leading engineer of Red Bull, told Dazn.
