After Adrian Newey joins Aston Martin Racing, a well-known engine manufacturer beloved by the "magician" will arrive a year later: Honda.
The director of Honda Racing Corporation believes Adrian Newey's involvement with Aston Martin means they will build the best car on the grid together. According to Koji Watanabe, with Newey's arrival, they will repeat and even surpass Red Bull Racing's successes, which would mean they would be the best team in the world.
"It's very inspiring to see that Aston Martin is constantly working to advance as a team. It's really gratifying to see so many investments in infrastructure and human resources, such as the construction of the modern wind tunnel and HQ, or the hiring of Adrian Newey. I know Adrian, we've worked together, and he's driven by incredible passion; he wants to build fast cars. While they're working on the chassis, we're working on the engine, there will definitely be friction, and we have to be prepared for that. But if we overcome that and resolve it, we'll build the best car in the world. And if that happens, we'll be the best team in the world!"
