Hill: “Newey is like Moses, he will find the solution”

Aston Martin in crisis

Lawrence Stroll spared no expense to bring the brilliant designer Adrian Newey to Aston Martin and with him a series of key technical figures (Enrico Cardile, Andy Cowell) with the goal of excelling under the new 2026 regulations. However, Honda was not as ready, and the British team is currently the tenth fastest team on the track, ahead only of the newcomer Cadillac.
In short, Aston Martin is the great disappointment of this championship start and it is unclear how long it will take to see Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll fighting for top positions, if it ever happens.

Damon Hill compares Newey to Moses

On The Undercut podcast, 1996 world champion Damon Hill – who won his world title with Newey as designer – analyzed the Aston Martin situation as follows: “Continuing to push in that direction will lead to something, but it will take time. We will have to see if there are too many problems, but I have confidence. Newey knows that things will work out and at the end of the season, when we look back, we will have proof of it. He has a vision that aims for perfection and wants everyone to be united and therefore he will insist. He is like Moses: everyone wonders about the promised land and doubts they will reach it, Adrian asks for faith that they will reach it while everyone wonders if he has lost his mind.”

Martin Brundle: “Aston Martin like a Premier League club”

Former Formula 1 driver, Martin Brundle instead explained to Sky Sports Uk: “Jonathan Wheatley would be a good signing for them. But they need to stabilize and reach a certain level. At the moment they look like a Premier League club that constantly changes its manager. This makes everyone else hide because they don’t know what will happen and who they have to answer to, or what strategy there is. At Aston Martin there has been a coming and going of executives, they have made some rather curious decisions in my opinion. Signing Wheatley is a smart move, for his pragmatism and his vision.”
