After Adrian Newey starts working with Aston Martin Racing, the "magician's" well-known and appreciated engine supplier, Honda, will arrive for a year.
Honda Racing Corporation boss believes that Adrian Newey's involvement with Aston Martin means that together they will build the best car in the group. According to Koji Watanabe, with Newey's arrival, they could repeat and even surpass the successes of Red Bull Racing, which would mean that they would be the best team in the world.
“It’s very inspiring to see that Aston Martin is constantly working to progress as a team. It’s really rewarding to see so much investment in infrastructure and human resources, such as the construction of a modern wind tunnel and HQ, or the hiring of Adrian Newey. I know Adrian, we’ve worked together before, and he’s driven by an incredible passion, he wants to build fast cars. While they’ll be working on the body, we’ll be working on the engine, there will definitely be friction, and we have to prepare for that. But if we overcome these hurdles and solve them, we will build the best car in the world. And if that happens, we will be the best team in the world!”
