What is Neey list on arrival in your Aston Martin

The walls of the Adrian Navy’s office have already been depicted, Andy Cowell revealed during a trial in Bahrain. It refers to a anecdote since new time McLarenWhen the designer added more colors to his office, Ron Dennis was completely speechless, as the team’s boss was used to do everything gray. “Ron Gone,” the Navy joked at that time.

In Aston Martin, the color of his design office will not be one thing. Cowell confirmed that the office is ready for Newi. “The drawing board is,” said Aston Martin’s CEO and the team principal.

The Navy officially begins in Aston Martin today, as his horticulture is over. On 1 May 2024, Red Bull announced what was known for weeks: Navy teams were leaving that they helped secure the six constructs championships and the championship of eight drivers. A few months later, on 10 September, the announcement was followed that the Navy would become the next destination in Aston Martin Formula 1.

Which structure in Aston Martin wait for Newi?

Between the announcement of the Navy and their real early date, many things have changed. Not only Cowle has played a dual role of the principal and CEO of the team, but in November the team also reported that Dan Follows were re -handed over for a different role. Follows, who had previously worked with Niyi in Red Bull, served as Aston Martin’s technical director, but has been transferred to another role within the Eston Martin Group “.

It opened the door to a new technical leadership pair: Enrico cardilla, which joins with FerrariAnd Navy. Cardil has been officially appointed as the Chief Technical Officer and according to the team, “Architecture, design and will oversee the manufacture of new cars”. Neey’s official title is the “management of a technical partner” with a co-sharee holder of the silverstone-based team.

Dual technical leadership is not new and how New I also operated in Red Bull. There, Pierre Coves managed the daily operations as a technical director, while the Newi saw the big picture. Wache recently explained this division of roles in an interview: “He was not involved in this process on a daily basis, but contacted more things than the sideline and continuously challenged us. It was very useful and happened in various ways, from mechanics to aerodynamics. He looked at our shoulders and asked, ‘Have you thought about it and have you thought about this?” This response was very valuable for us.

The method of working day-to-day operations and a large technical picture, the righteousness, has proved to be successful, especially under the rules that were introduced in 2022.

With Cardile and Ni, Aston Martin can rely on two heavyweight as technical leaders, but one important question is: when will the cardille actually start? In July 2024, Ferrari announced his departure, but his horticulture holiday period was not specified. Eston Martin did not disclose this information in his announcement, nor was Cowell clearly asked about it during a winter test in Bahrain: “We are eager to work well for a thousand people together. We are eager to join Adrian. We are looking for dozens of new starts that we have every month.

When asked for the second time about the onset date of the cardilla, Cowell responded laughing and replied: “Does anyone else have any question?” A third attempt has been equally unsuccessful, showing that Aston Martin doesn’t want to tell anything about it yet (or perhaps not), “There is already a big group of people working on the 2026 car, pushing forward. And as we add more people, we become strong. We get stronger. The increased capacity and increased experience simply helps us.

As a result, there are still some questions that are around the division of roles in the first weeks of the Navy. The long -term plan with cardilla and Navy as two technical leaders seems to be clear, but with the signing of Ferrari, the situation remains uncertain yet.

What challenges are waiting for Aston Martin?

As is as important as the structure, the question is what will focus on New IE Eston Martin and what are the main challenges. When the signature was announced, the team admitted that their arrival was too late to shape the 2025 car, but to improve it throughout the season, but even more importantly, for the new rules, in time, which Aston Martin and owner Lawrence walks have pinned all their hopes. With the Navy Onboard and Honda as an engine supplier, effectively making it a factory team, all pieces need to come together to move a big step in 2026.

“Everyone is excited to work with Adrian. Their record speaks for himself,” Cowell said. “We are eager to welcome him at the site, being an induction for a new employee. It may be slightly different from a normal, can introduce him to major technical players within our business and is showing him business equipment for the car. And then stuck to help improve 2026 cars and improve the improvement on 2025.” ,

The sequence of Cowle’s words highlights it where priority lies. Due to the gap between the top four teams and the rest, and due to the opportunities that provide new rules, Eston Martin is expected to move his attention early in 2026. The fact that Neey is starting now is especially important, as most teams have already started the concept work for next year.

Cowell states that the concept of Eston Martin is already focused next year: “It is a very big topic for all 10 teams. For us, our business areas that are already 100% focused on 2026. The concept engineering groups are fully focused at 2026 as 2025 is done from their perspective.” This refers to the overall concept of the car, an area where the expertise of the Navy can have an invaluable contribution. In this sense, their first few months are important in laying the foundation for 2026.

Balance between 2025 and 2026 act

While the Navy is expected to influence both 2025 and 2026 projects, it is interesting that Aston Martin does not want to separate both the team members working together on the projects as much as possible. He said: “I have always found that if you have an engineer about the time of today and 12 months, then it is always that you focus on you. It is four in the afternoon that you start thinking about the next year and your brain is tired until then, or mine.

“For us, compared to Ferrari, we are a young team. We are a young and growing team. Yes, we have got a great new factory. We have got some great infrastructure, but we are still learning how we bring all together. We are still dialing. It is important for us that we do the quality of experiments for the top draw.”

All factors – Nei, Honda and new facilities – 2026 should come together in the car. Cowell has already made it clear that designing it will bring many challenges, not at least due to switch to engine supplier.

“We are infection this year by having a customer team Mercedes For a work team with Honda, “Cowell explained.” In addition, we will make our transmission, rear wishes and so on. So this is a step for us. This is a challenging job list before us in the next 12 months. ,

All these aspects are naturally associated with the aerology and mechanics of the 2026 car, which makes one thing clear: from today, the Newy will have a lot to keep busy in its state -of -the -art office, including the old school drawing board.
