Alonso isn’t just excited about Newey’s arrival; he also has high praise for team principal Lawrence Stroll, who successfully negotiated with Newey. “When Adrian decided to join us, I felt immensely proud. It demonstrates what Lawrence can achieve. His passion and vision for Aston Martin are unparalleled, and he is resolute in taking us to the top,” Alonso expressed.

With Newey on board, Alonso hopes Aston Martin can emerge as a serious title contender in the years to come. While the question of whether this collaboration will yield a third world title remains uncertain, Alonso is determined to maximize this opportunity with unwavering focus.
