After Adrian Newey joins the Aston Martin Racing team, he will be joined by the "magician's" well-known and appreciated engine supplier, Honda, for one year.
The Honda Racing Corporation director believes that Adrian Newey, in his role at Aston Martin, means they will build the best car in the field together. According to Koji Watanabe, with Newey's arrival, they will repeat, or even surpass, the successes of Red Bull Racing, which would mean they would be the best team in the world.
"It's very inspiring to see Aston Martin constantly working to improve as a team. It's really gratifying to see so much investment in infrastructure and human resources, such as the construction of a modern wind tunnel and headquarters, or the recruitment of Adrian Newey. I know Adrian, we've worked together before, and he's driven by an incredible passion for building fast cars. While they're working on the chassis, we'll be working on the engine, there will surely be friction, you have to be prepared for it. But if we overcome it and find solutions, then we will build the best car in the world. And if that happens, then we will be the best team in the world!"
