Adrian Newey pointed out that168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Fernando Alonso’s tally of two world c🌠hampionships “doesn’t reflect his ability at ꦉall” ahead of the duo linking up at Aston Martin later this year.

Newey officially starts work at Aston Martin on March 3 as their managing technicalꦺ partner.

The 66-ye🌱ar-old will sp🧸earhead Aston Martin’s technical team as they look to start the new rules in 2026 on the right foot.

Newey is the latest high🍰-profile signing by Lawrence Stroll, alongside Andy Cowell (who is now team principal) and Enrico Cardille (technical director).

In terms of drivers, Alonso remains alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lance Stroll in 2025.

Newey will get tꦇhe chance to finally work with Alonso, which is something he’s admitted he’s wanted to do for a number of years.

When Newey was 💖McLaren technical dire꧑ctor, Alonso prevented them from winning the world title in 2005 with Kimi Raikkonen.

During the early🀅 2010s, Red Bull’s main rival for the title was Alonso for Ferrꦫari.

Speaking to AMuS, Newey spoke about Alonso.

“Fernando has been a bit of a thorn in the s꧟ide through the years,” Newey said. 🌺“It will be good to be working with him. I’ve got a huge amount of respect for Fernando.

“The fact he’s only won two world championships, on paper, doesn’t r𒁏eflect his ability✤ at all.”

Newey’s praise for Alonso

Newey has always spoken glowingly about Alonso.

Speaking to the BBC last year, Newe𓃲y said: “In terms of drivers, Fernando is one I have alwaꩵys… That’s a regret that that never happened because I have a tremendous respect for Fernando.

“The truth is, first ofᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ all, I try to live in the present and the future and not the past.

“Regrets? No. I just feel tre🧜mendously lucky to have had the opportunities I’ve had and to have worked with the people I have done and met the people I have done.”

Newey will have at least two years to work wit♛h Alonso, wi🔯th the Spaniard’s contract running out at the end of 2026.

Afte🍸r that, Aston Martin could make a move to sign Max Vers🐟tappen.

Aston Martin have dismissed reports of a whopping £1bn bid to sign Verstappen, but given his links to Newey and the🅘 team’s engine partner for 2026 - Honda 📖- it could be possible in the future.
