The biggest shrubs are often said to be the smartest heads. Einstein? Was forgetful. Because Vinci? A chaot! Caught a lot, lost sight of it. And in Formula 1? Sits the supposedly smartest head on the shoulders of the racing designer Adrian Newey, over whose Spleens Andy Cowell, the team leader of Aston Martin, recently unpacked. If no emails answer, does not appear to meet meetings, the 65-year-old Formula 1 genius. No time! In any case, Cowell told the Spanish sports newspaper “As”. Man can only hope for Aston Martin that it is true. The highly equipped racing team stumbles back to your own claim to be a title candidate. Every minute counts in which Newey is looking for acceleration opportunities in front of his drawing board. Demendable judgment of Lance Strollbis For this year the billionaire Lawrence Stroll wanted to have shaped his race stable as the winning team. That was the goal he spent four years ago. Pust cake. Before the Grand Prix of Miami this Sunday (10:00 p.m. CEST in F.A.Z.-LiveTicker for Formula 1 and at Sky), Aston Martin is led to seventh place in the constructor table, still behind Haas and Williams. The three past Grands Prix? All -out round rounds. Owner son Lance Stroll spoke a devastating judgment about his company car with the type number AMR25. Where the strengths of the racing car lie, a reporter wanted to know after the recent tour in Saudi Arabia. “I don’t think,” replied the Canadian, “that there is really any strengths.” Outsch.Bislang it only looked shortly afterwards when Aston Martin achieved his destinations. Two years ago, Fernando Alonso whizzed on the podium six times in the first eight races. The first victory seemed to be a matter of time. But Aston Martin failed to improve the green speedster over the course of the year. The supposed fine tuning proved to be a step backwards, the handling of the vehicle deteriorated. Last season Aston Martin only collected 94 points (instead of 280 in 2023) and is not nearly as competitive today as in spring two years ago. What a bankruptcy. But room. Because there is a lot to suggest that Aston Martin becomes a winning team. Aston Martin in Silverstone will be newly built three construction phases in recent years. 250 million euros expensive, larger than five soccer fields. Simulator, test benches, all up -to -date. The whole pride of the team, however, is the wind tunnel that Aston Martin put into operation until March, and that was too late for the obvious new car AMR25, which was still created in the wind tunnel of Mercedes, the Aston was used. But the view of the next year has long been going when the cards are mixed up due to the large engine reform. “We are fighting very hard for it,” said team boss Andy Cowell the “AS” to “have a quick car for 2026.” Aston Martin stood up for a number of specialists in order to use the expensive infrastructure profitably. Above all, Adrian Newey from Red Bull Racing, who got to work on March 1st. They hope that for the 13th time he succeeds in designing a world championship vehicle-as once at Williams, McLaren and Red Bull.Schon in October, Cowell hired, who made a name for himself as an engine mastermind in the long-term winning years. After a short familiarization, he replaced the Luxembourg Mike Krack as team leader, who moved into the second link in the course of a large -scale structural reform. In July, Enrico Cardile, an aerodynamic specialist, will be loose by Ferrari. As for the thinking staff, Aston Martin could hardly be better positioned. But what about the steering? Whispered over the next transfer co -pawnando Alonso signed a contract by the end of next year. Lance Stroll does not have to fear for his place as long as Mr. Papa belongs to the team. And yet the whisper goes that Aston Martin is preparing the next transfer coup. Throughout it on Max Verstappen and planning reunification: Verstappen, the genius at the wheel, and Newey, the genius on the drawing board, the dusting world championship cars made. The Italian “Gazzetta Dello Sport” recently reported that the four -time world champion was an offer over $ 300 million (264 million euros) for three years before (2026–2028). majority to take over. Aston Martin hurried to deny the content of the Italian newspaper report, and also said Verstappen that he was not thinking about leaving Red Bull. More on the subject of and yet it is doubtful that the Dutch, which is laid out, is still in the right cockpit. Only one victory in the first five Grands Prix of the year, Verstappen last started the season five years ago. In the manufacturer’s ranking, the former Red Bull industry leader is already 99 points behind McLaren. Verstappen Treaty, which applies by the end of the 2028 season, contains success -dependent exit clauses. In which cases they are not known is not known. The Aston Martin as a Honda work team in the future seems to be the chances of increasing the chances of a deal because of the dapping of good relationships with the Japanese, whose engines he won his titles. However, the future balance of power in Formula 1, because of the upcoming turning point, remains so unpredictable that a change to the coming season, whether to Mercedes, who should also be interested, or to Aston Martin, always have a daring bet. Despite a genius on the drawing board.
