- Canadian billionaire hails Adrian Newey as ‘gifted individual’
- Aston Martin F1 team is struggling in this year’s championship
The Aston Martin Formula One team is pulling out all the stops to sign veteran engineer Adrian Newey, according to billionaire owner Lawrence Stroll.
The British racing engineer is stepping down as chief technical officer of Red Bull Racing early next year, and speculation has mounted about his next move. Newey is in high demand after helping to create a car that’s dominated the sport over the last few years and won multiple championships in a 19-year stint at Red Bull.
