The film, carrying the working title Turbulence: The Greatest Mind in F1, brings together Stewart \u2014 the son of three-time world champion Sir Jackie Stewart \u2014 and Affleck\u2019s Artists Equity, alongside Whisper and Mark Stewart Productions.<\/p>\n
It will follow Newey\u2019s move to Aston Martin earlier this year after leaving Red Bull, and will feature exclusive access to the team\u2019s Silverstone base as he begins work on a car aimed at pushing the team up the 2025\u201326 grid.<\/p>\n
The documentary will also explore Newey\u2019s career and the personal moments that have shaped it, intercut with scenes from his past that producers describe as defining both his triumphs and \u201cheartbreaking tragedies\u201d.<\/p>\n
With 12 Constructors\u2019 titles and 14 Drivers\u2019 Championships already tied to his designs, the project aims to capture both the scale of his achievements and the intensity of his latest chapter.<\/p>\n
Newey admitted he was unsure at first about agreeing to take part.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Mark Stewart approached me about making a docu film, whilst flattered I was initially not sure whether to accept,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He explained that letters from readers of his 2017 autobiography encouraged him to reconsider, noting how many people said the book deepened their appreciation of the engineering and mindset behind F1.<\/p>\n
He said he hoped the documentary would reflect both the demands of his new role and the sport\u2019s constant evolution.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully this film can portray the passion, the working practice, and the strength of mind that is involved in bringing an F1 car to the grid,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Newey added that it would chart the challenges of joining Aston Martin in March to prepare for \u201cwhat is arguably the biggest regulation change in F1 history\u201d, while also exploring how his past has prepared him for the task ahead.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a wild ride so far, but F1 never stands still. I hope that the film will capture some of that restless energy, and our constant drive towards improved performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stewart said his long-standing relationship with Newey gave the project particular significance.<\/p>\n
Calling him \u201cthe greatest engineer ever to grace F1\u201d, he added: \u201cI\u2019ve known him for many years, and this project comes at a very special moment in his career.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a great privilege for MSP to be telling this remarkable story with such an amazing team of collaborators in London and LA.\u201d<\/p>\n
Affleck said Newey\u2019s career offered a story far broader than just motorsport.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis film is about so much more than just racing, it\u2019s about a living legend whose unrivaled career is full of ambition and reinvention,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re honoured to help bring Adrian\u2019s story to life alongside all of our incredible partners.\u201d<\/p>\n
The production joins a growing slate of Formula 1 documentaries, including another in development chronicling Cadillac\u2019s debut season on the 2026 grid.<\/p>\n
