Delivering a world championship-winning car next season will mark the third successive set of regulations that the British designer has proved to be successful in. <\/p>\n
Widely hailed as one of the greatest minds in the history of the sport, Newey\u2019s designs have won 14 drivers\u2019 and 12 constructors\u2019 titles and 223 Grands Prix over more than three decades of designs.<\/p>\n
Fernando Alonso is hoping to be the next beneficiary<\/a> of the 66-year-old\u2019s mind for aerodynamics, previously stating that next season could potentially be his last as a Formula 1 driver if he manages to clinch his elusive third world title.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Christian Horner could miss out on joining Aston Martin as Adrian Newey contract \u2018clause\u2019 emerges<\/a><\/p>\n Felipe Drugovich reveals he has only spoken to Adrian Newey once since he joined Aston Martin<\/p>\n Part of Newey\u2019s clinical ability to produce front-running machinery is down to the hard work he puts in at whatever factory he is working at. Mika Hakkinen once said that McLaren\u2019s appointment of Newey in 1997 was the \u201chappiest moment\u201d<\/a> of his F1 career, above his two world titles.<\/p>\n In a recent interview with the Daily Express<\/a>, Aston Martin reserve driver Felipe Drugovich<\/a> noted how he has had minimal contact with Newey since he joined the team at the start of the season due to the fact that the 66-year-old is constantly focused on the job at hand. <\/p>\n \u201cAll the contact that I had with him was in Silverstone, when he went to the track,\u201d Drugovich told the British newspaper. \u201cI presented myself, and I said, \u2018Nice to meet you\u2019, and that was all the contact I had. And I think it was everything I ever spoke to him. <\/p>\n \u201cBut I think that\u2019s also a good thing, though, because he is really focused on what he\u2019s doing. He\u2019s not really talking to anyone in the team. <\/p>\n \u201cNo one knows what he\u2019s doing. I mean, everyone knows what he\u2019s doing, but he\u2019s not actually, you know, sharing with anyone, which is good, you know, he\u2019s actually very focused on that. And because of that, I also expect Aston [Martin] to do pretty well next year.\u201d<\/p>\n Aston Martin ambassador Pedro de la Rosa recently revealed how Newey has stunned colleagues at the Silverstone factory<\/a> with how late he manages to leave the office on a daily basis. <\/p>\n The former F1 driver noted how he is constantly the last person to leave the factory in his attempts to take the team to the \u201cnext level\u201d.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Fernando Alonso has seen something \u2018mystical\u2019 from Adrian Newey behind the scenes at Aston Martin<\/a><\/p>\n Red Bull have suffered from the absence of Adrian Newey since his departure from the team last year<\/p>\n Newey\u2019s exit from Red Bull<\/a>, a team he spent nearly 20 years with, came at a crucial time in the current life-cycle of Formula 1 regulations. <\/p>\n After delivering eight separate cars that were capable of winning a title, the Austrian constructor was left on the back foot once the 66-year-old\u2019s exit was confirmed last year. <\/p>\n His former team are currently developing their power unit completely in-house for the very first time ahead of the new regulations last year, and early benchmarks suggest Red Bull\u2019s engine won\u2019t be as competitive<\/a> as that of their rivals. <\/p>\n Whilst Newey\u2019s forte isn\u2019t the engine side of things, the synergy between the aerodynamics and power unit is crucial in determining a good balance on the car. <\/p>\n They both go hand in hand when it comes to delivering an overall package that is good enough to compete for race wins. <\/p>\n![\"Aston](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2223156761-1024x683.jpg\")
