Adrian Newey Aston Martin

Formula 1 design legend Adrian Newey is to become Aston Martin’s team principal next year. The move is part of a major restructure of Aston Martin that sees Andy Cowell removed from his current position as team principal and chief executive officer just 13 months after joining the team. Newey started work at Aston Martin in March after his exit from Red Bull last year. Cowell, meanwhile, is to become chief strategy officer, with particular focus on the team’s engine partnership.
