Verstappen a 'Pipe Dream' Until Aston Build a Better Car, Says Newey

  • Adrian Newey, Aston Martin's 66-year-old design chief, emphasized that acquiring Max Verstappen is unrealistic until the team develops a car capable of competing at the level of the Red Bull champion.
  • Newey explained that Aston Martin's current seventh-place standing and underperforming car prevent attracting Verstappen, who aims for championship-winning teams.
  • He highlighted his deep focus on developing the racing car for the upcoming regulation changes set for 2026, describing this phase as an intense and immersive period aimed at achieving maximum performance.
  • Newey emphasized that developing a competitive car is essential if Aston Martin hopes to sign Max Verstappen, but he admitted he has no clear timeline for when that might be achieved.
  • This suggests Aston Martin must improve significantly before Verstappen considers leaving Red Bull, underscoring the challenge Newey faces in transforming the team.
