Aston Martin F1 News: A Rough Start to the 2026 Season

Before stepping down from his leadership role at Aston Martin to focus on technical positioning, Adrian Newey spoke to ESPN about his fear that the team wouldn't be able to finish upcoming Grand Prix races until fixes were made:

“We are going to have to be very heavily restricted on how many laps we do in the race… until we get on top of the source of the vibration.”

You can develop pace. You can’t develop around a car that isn't behaving predictably over a full stint.
