Obviously in the papers and contracts Newey just start in march, but, guys, we need to be reasonable, u really beleive newey will dont give any information about 2025 or even AMR24? really? He must have already given opinions about the problematic AMR24. 2025 will be 100% more competitive than 2024. Newey wont sit back watching AM suffering inteire 2025
If I remember correctly Newey said something like he's looking forward to some holidays starting on thursday, because it was a busy time the last weeks...

The 2025 Aston Martin for me will fight easily for the victory, it takes little to fix the car. Gardening is a physical limitation, but through communication means it fixes the car. I remember in 2021 when it was said that Redbull was aiming for that and for 2022 it took them only a few months to make the car for the following year. And in fact it was like that. If you have the right people this is what happens in F1, Newey is the best engineer ever in F1 and guys I'll see you in March in Bahrain.
Let's calm down :lol:
Car is in a sorry state at the moment, don't forget where we are. Next updates working would already be a feat for this team
If it was that easy to work for a team while on Gardening leave why hasn't Newey been already helping the team ? It's been a while since he knew he was coming over. They were just waiting for when it could be announced.

There was actually an article put out a few days ago on autosport about the effectiveness of gardening leave.

The gist of it was that since remote work became possible, unless you have the gardener under 24 hour supervision, you cannot police their movements and working habits during the gardening leave. I'm sure there will be small things that Adrian can influence for 2025 but I suspect as of March 2025, he will be fulltime 2026 project.

He will start working at AM on Mar 2, you can bet his head (and notebook) is already well allong in the plan of the new car.
He also looks at all the others cars trackside too, so you can imagine his thoughts when he sees them. Like Ah look at that, it would be better if it was like this, and it would take seconds to pass this titbit to the team so that that change is already in the works when he arrives.

Yes the rumours are true, it is a done deal with the capital fund Accel and private credit HPS Investment Partners that are set to invest between 1,5 and 2 billion $. So yes, Lawernce decided to sell part of the team. Aston will make an announcement soon.

Very strange that Aramco did not participate.
Stroll just didnt want to be called Lawrence of Arabia.

He said in the interview that he will be taking a holiday with his wife. He mentioned how long he's been in F1 non stop, doing other side projects. Genuinely think he wants a bit of a break. In order to make meaningful changes he would have to get the team's feedback first. I think he will only have focus on 2026 car.

Aston Martin is really starting to feel like mid 00s Red Bull. Just massive investment left right and center into the right places. Top tier factory, cutting-edge wind tunnel, massive hiring spree.

Unless they start facing Alpine-esque internal politics they are destined to become a regular part of the front running pack. The problem is that that means there will be 10 front running cars out of 20, meaning there will be F1 and F1.5, with nothing in between.

We really need more teams.
I expect quite wide spread actually but based on power units. I also think one PU will be far ahead.

He has been on "holiday" for the last 3 months. :lol:

Just a reminder that Helmut Marko predicted Newey going to AM as far back as Miami GP in May.

Just to highlight that lot of what fans hear in the media and from pundits are speculations and often have ulterior motives behind them. Big decisions are usually made long in advance and certain people are always in the know.

Adrian saying that all his tools are blocked in gardening leave, so not possible even if he wants to design car at home
