Fernando Alonso believes Aston Martin is Formula 1’s “team of the future” after hiring Red Bull car designer Adrian Newey with an eye on the new regulations coming in 2026.

Adrian Newey said it is his goal to turn Aston Martin into Formula One world champions after the design great was unveiled at the British team's Silverstone headquarters. Newey, who is widely considered the greatest technical mastermind of his generation, has committed his long-term future to Aston Martin following his departure from Red Bull.

Aston Martin was eager to show Newey what it was putting together at Silverstone and to make a major statement of intent by signing him.
