After speculation linking former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner with the team resurfaced, Aston Martin announced on Wednesday that the 66-year-old Newey will step up to take charge of trackside operations from 2026. “I’m looking forward to taking on this additional role as we put ourselves in the best possible position to compete in 2026, where we will face an entirely new position with Aston Martin now a works team combined with the considerable challenge faced by the new regulations." Newey has played a significant role in 13 drivers’ world championships and a dozen constructors’ titles with three different teams but has never previously held the role of team principal.
