Adrian Newey knows how to give Aston Martin the best shot to sign Max Verstappen.
Genius Car Designer will be on the ground for the first time this weekend at Aston Martin Colors’ F1 Monaco Grand Prix.
His presence in the paddock reminds us that the struggling team has a big goal to conquer when the 2026 Formula One Regulations come into play.
They have consistently linked to Red Bull’s Barstappen’s lucrative moves fighting for the fifth driver title this year.
Can Aston Martin lure Max Verstappen?
Newey found out exactly what Aston Martin had to do to sign Verstappen.
“Max is clearly an incredible talent and he is his best competitor,” he was quoted from ESPN.
“Part of that means Max likes to break things down into simple common equations.
“It selects the team he believes in this particular case will deliver the fastest car.
“So, if we’re going to attract Max, the first thing we have to do is make a fast car.
“It’s a dream from there about something else.”
Verstappen is linked to the Red Bull exit, which won each of the four driver titles, as the car is less competitive.
McLaren overtook them as the fastest car last year and continued to offer better packages to drivers Oscar Piastri and Rand Norris.
To win the F1 title, Verstappen leaves behind the most difficult task ever.
But the order of the pecking order could change next year when new rules are brought forward, which is why Aston Martin swooped to sign Newley.
